iPhone On Target For June Launch, Says AT&T
Apr 19th, 2007 | By James Lewin | Category: Digital Music, iPods & Portable Media Players, Mobile PodcastingThe iPhone is on schedule to hit the U.S. market at the end of June, a senior executive with AT&T Inc. said on Wednesday. The iPhone has received unprecedented attention since Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs demonstrated a prototype of the device in January.
“Our expectations are good. Our testing has been good,” said AT&T Chief Operating Officer Randall Stephenson. “The iPhone is on target to launch in June.”
Stephenson said more than 1 million customers have said that they would like to buy one of the phones when they’re available for purchase. He wasn’t sure, though, how many iPhones will be available at launch.
“We’re sorting through that right now,” he said. “We got a million people waiting to buy it so we’re hoping we get a million.”
