" If the Verizon numbers prove to be true across the board and iPhone sales are down 28% from Q4, a 20% correction from $644 will not hold this POS... meaning you might see $500 and below..." I agree that most people are looking for iPhone sales to stay above 30 million. We will definitely see huge sequential declines at AT&T and Verizon after the launch quarter-- that's always been the case (at least with AT&T). Across the board? I wouldn't think so.

IMO, this might interest you, just a little Syl: So you're commenting on your highly visible blog about patent case after patent case that deal with corporations battling over open source stuff, what does it matter if you're taking money from one and not the other? If you don't see any ethical problems with that, you might be Florian Mueller. Groklaw's PJ (who has been suspicious of Florian's ties to other giants like Microsoft for quite sometime) has noticed that Florian Mueller has decided to go full disclosure and admit that all his commentary on the Oracle v Google case might be *tainted by his employment by Oracle. It seems he's got a bunch of consulting money coming his way from Oracle but I'm sure that won't undermine any of his assessments like Android licenses violate the GPL or that Oracle will win $6 billion from Google and Google was "at risk" of not settling* despite the outcome that the charges later dropped to a small fraction of the $6 billion. Like so many other times, PJ's hunch was right.
