Anyone surprised?
Since there is no information on how many units they sold, not even slightly interested.Steve de MenaLewis
Not bad for the version 1.0 of a brand new operating system.
They sold all 10 preorders? Yeah, impressive. 100,000? Big whoop. 2 million? That would be impressive.
Steve de MenaThey announced 5 million old on the first weekend, which was the only number I paid any attention too.
Where were you when Apple announced iPhone 5 pre-orders were sold out with no numbers given as to how many units "sold out" consisted of?
However, we all know that Apple is reliable in giving sales figures as opposed to, say, Samsung and HP, which effectively lied through their teeth by counting "shipped to retailers" as "sold".
Love the double standards here!No double standard at all. I don't recall posting anything at all abut Apple selling out pre-orders.
