Yesterday (well, CET in any case), Apple posted its financial results for the second quarter of the 2008 fiscal year (which ended 29 March). While sales of Macintosh laptops and desktops soared to ever greater heights, and while sales of the iPod consolidated itself, the news is not so good for the iPhone. And the dodo will have an Apple TV to play with, soon.

From the Reg:
" Apple confirmed the obvious by saying a "significant" number of iPhones are being purchased from its outlets with the express intention of unlocking them. That trend, coupled with higher-than-expected demand, has resulted in inventory shortages, the company claimed."
Slightly different interpretation there!!
Don't know about Europe, but in the middle east these things are selling like hot cakes. Even though every last one of them is an unlocked hack-job. Local operators have asked Apple to ship them iPhones in line with this huge trend but it doesn't appear to be happening. My iPhone arrived from ebay today !
On a different note, for me the real indicator is Mac sales.
