The lonely guy down the road that creeps everyone out video conferencing with Apple...
Honestly, I'm not sure you will have any problem making video calls with:
1. Over a million sold first day (kind of a prediction really, but I'm pretty sure I'm right... who knows)
2. Facetime being Open-source (anyone can develop for it.)
...
That is crazzy, yet funny lol
...
A million? Most news surces including Phone Scoop, reported 600,000.

Those were pre-orders. There were most likely some in store sales.. but I doubt it was 400k, just because that's a really high number and they cut off preorders because of stock issue,.
...
Ah, they could've just sent people emails saying theirs will come at a later time. They could've kept taking orders.
...
so those are pre orders and not actual sales because the product is not available right? 😉
...
Reporting estimates of between 1 and 1.5 million SOLD in two days.
remember, it was only the AT&T stores that were out of stock the first day.
...
ps, didn't the 600,000 go in around 8 hours????? I could be wrong about that. but I'm not.
I don't think it's that hard to imagine 400,000 iPhone 4's being sold in one day.

In reality, this is a cool idea. It will be really good for those people who bought it on the first day and all their other friends waited (or like one of my friends who has it up on ebay)
I have no issues with Apple support. When I had issues with my computer, they always had the coolest hold music.
...
Had issues with your computer? YOU had a Mac?!!!? Woah!
...
MennoJun 25, 2010, 12:25 PM
I had the original macbook, a second generation Ipod, and an ipod touch. I used to be a really big apple person.
...
Oh ok, well your forgiven for using the words "I used to be".
My borther-in-law is an Apple person, he has a Mac, and an Ipad, no Iphone though, with the exception of one of my sisters who does have an Iphone, the rest of us are all on Verizon.
...
Would you enlighten me as to ?who? Billy Bob McCoy is?
...
MennoJun 25, 2010, 12:41 PM
No one.. just a hick sounding name. So no Teef!
...
Ah! 🤣
Hey, did you hear about the tornado dude? Went through Bridgeport where I was born, and Waterbury where I'm from!!! Frinkin tree in my Mom's backyard got uprooted!!! She took the day off work to try to get the insurance company to come over.
Tornado in Ct, how weird is that?!!!?
...
MennoJun 25, 2010, 12:55 PM
well they had an earthquake in Canada yesterday, so not as weird as it might be.
...
It sounds like something straight out of the movie Day After Tomorrow!
So your intrigued by the Droid X, but your in the process of looking for a job, how can you afford one? Plus you got your Droid in November, so your under contract, right?
...
MennoJun 25, 2010, 2:29 PM
no contract, I paid retail for it. So I can sign a new contract at any time.
And I'm not getting the phone, I just want it.
Everyone has their vices. For my brother, he buys a new watch every few months, for me, it's phones.
...
Dude, this is crazy, my own mother is more evolved than I am!!!
She uses the on screen keyboard more than me, whereas I use the physical keyboard more. The only time I use the on screen keyboard is if it's something really, really short.

Jay! There is a Droidx loose in Nevada!
(They are giving away the phone, if you find it, its yours)
@droidlanding on twitter
...
And to think... You wanted to get her a dumb phone. If the Droid had not been Buy One Get One your poor mom would be walking around with a Samsung Knack while you pimped the Droid.
...
we had earthquakes in my town in texas last year. The biggest one sounded like a semi driving by. It was strange, we were all like what was that? did a gas well just explode?
Actually, we just make national news with a gas rig explosion like 2 weeks ago. Guy hit a 36 inch pipe just down the road 2 miles. We heard the blast and felt a heat wave, then saw smoke for hours. Poor guys, gas/oil is tough work.
...
Hey! My ex used to live in Waterbury. Do you know anyone w/the last name Chabot? Haha.
...
Yeah, and Apple is also gathering information on you whenever you make a FaceTalk call(or whatever it is called), and your conversation is amazingly easy to snoop on when you make it over WiFi. Oh, and Apple + AT&T will be sending out OTA updates every other week, which you are only allowed to ignore once, and will re-lock your phone if you happen to unlock it. That last bit applies to any phone running iOS4. Yeah, I'm good with Apple. I feel like my girl's Mini is spying on me and reporting my actions to the thought police.
...
You can, of course, provide links to the articles showing that:
"Apple is also gathering information on you whenever you make a FaceTalk call"
and that
"Apple + AT&T will be sending out OTA updates every other week"
right?
Take your time.
...
I will chode. Just as soon as I get to a non-firewalled computer. Don't worry, I didn't forget about you.

I was expecting something a little more creditable than this. This apple "source" writes like he dropped out of high school.
But that aside, I'm not seeing anything compelling. Carrier provisioning files contain nothing more than apn and mms settings (it would be odd but not impossible to issue a subsidy lock command through this) I am also not convinced that FaceTime is doing anything more than what is required for call setup.
I was expecting packet captures at least
...
I guess we will know soon enough about the OTA "re-locks". The lack of encryption on FaceTime is concerning as well. I wouldn't be surprised by either.
