July 25, 2007 -- Fears are mounting that Apple's much-hyped iPhone may not be the instant hit many in media and tech circles were anticipating.

Shares in Apple Inc. slid over 6 percent yesterday to $134.89 following word from AT&T on Monday that it activated 146,000 iPhones in its first day-and-a-half of sales following its June 29 debut.

While AT&T called the product's performance "robust," nervous Apple investors were less than impressed. Some analyst estimates were forecasting initial sales of as much as 500,000 units.

Apple has said it hopes to sell 10 million iPhones worldwide by the end of 2008.

To keep pace with that target, the company will have to sell an average of 500,000 units over the next 20 months.

That is what happens when you pack a phone with everything except a decent network

I guess good times are coming where we'll hopefully see the price lowered for both the iPhone and wireless service.

AT&T activations have no bearing on Apple's actual sales...

We find out today how many they really sold...

I bet it is close to what activations are because it only works on the At&T network...unless a lot of people bought them to not use as a cellphone...which is not really believeable

No a lot of people bought 2, but didn't activate the second one right away.

I didn't activate my second one until a week later.

Plus, you also are not considering the blackout of 4-6 hours when may people couldn't activate as AT&T had activation issues... Many people couldn't activate opening weekend...

Bingo, way short of 1/2 million....

Apple reported today that it shipped 270,000 iPhones in the last two days of the quarter -- more than it had predicted, but far less than the 500,000 to 700,000 units most Apple analysts had estimated.
