Apple iPhone Million Member Pushover Club
No wonder Steve Jobs thinks he can get away with screwing early adopters: HE CAN!
Fred Wilson’s Apple analogy last week: ”like the girl I really tried to fall in love with, but woke up one morning and (she) called it off.”
My Steve Jobs analogy today: Like the big bad boyfriend that mistreats you and thinks all it takes is a bouquet of roses to forgive and forget.
Steve Jobs unveiled his latest Apple salvo today: A two paragraph declaration that “Apple Sells One Millionth iPhone.”
Of course Jobs is a man of few words now, he knows his million early adopters will dutifully cut and paste his every word so Apple worship rings loud and clear throughout the blogosphere.
Hommage is indeed forthcoming.
Dan Moren, Macworld, gives a big high five to the “revolutionary” Steve: ” One meeeeellion iPhones” YAY!
Kent Pribbernow, theiPhoneblog, envisages planetary domination: “Apple Sells One Millionth iPhone, McDonald’s Looks on Worried”
Arik Hesseldahl, Business Week, looks forward to celebrating the next Steve Jobs PR pitch: “I’ll predict right here and now that we see a press release touting two million units by Halloween” (brave man!)
WHY THE APPLE LOVE?
One million iPhones in 74 days—it took almost two years to achieve this milestone with iPod,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “We can’t wait to get this revolutionary product into the hands of even more customers this holiday season.
Way to go Steve, for your shareholders.
