Header:  JPMorgan analyst Phil Cusick (via The Street) thinks the real figure could be more than five times larger, with over 500,000 sold. Verizon broke its previous record in only two hours, which was held by the Motorola Droid which saw 

100,000 total sales in a single day on Nov. 6, 2009.

LBK Post 068 iPhone Pre-Sales Result in Record Day for Verizon

From:  http://gigaom.com 

 

 

Yesterday’s pre-sales of the iPhone 4 were a huge success. Both Apple and Verizon stopped accepting orders late in the day, with pre-orders sold out, and Verizon today announced that it represented the most successful first day sales in company history.

It didn’t take Verizon long to break that record, either. According to Verizon CEO Dan Mead:

    In just our first two hours, we had already sold more phones than any first day launch in our history. And, when you consider these initial orders were placed between the hours of 3 a.m. and 5 a.m., it is an incredible success story. It is gratifying to know that our customers responded so enthusiastically to this exclusive offer – designed to reward them for their loyalty.

"We Expected Nothing Less, Didn't We???"  

Wingman.

LBK Post 067 Largest Makers of Mainboards to Exchange or Refund Mainboards with Flawed Intel Chipsets.

Filed Under Errata:

From:  http://www.xbitlabs.com

Asustek, Asrock, Gigabyte and MicroStar International Comment on Intel Chipset Errata

The four largest manufacturers of mainboards in the world said that they would take actions to ensure that the flaw discovered this week in Intel Corp.'s latest 6-series chipsets 
will not affect end-users. 

As a result, the companies will stop selling mainboards for Intel's new Core i-series "Sandy Bridge" microprocessors and will either refund the motherboards or will replace/repair them when the error-free chipsets become available.
