I Scooped the New York Times on iPhone Gap

Today, The New York Times "discovers" that 1.4 million missing iPhones are not registered in the ATT network and that most have found their way back to China in "After China Ships Out iPhones, Smugglers Make It a Return Trip."  Sound familiar?

Regular readers may recall my posting "iPhone Revenue Gap" of January 30th, 2008 ( three weeks ago ) where I broke down the resulting revenue gap of the "lost iPhones" for Apple, ATT, as well as projections against the UK market with O2.

Apple in the middle kingdom has been an interest of mine here going back to the launch of the iPhone when I posted about iPhone imitators in "Asian Rivals to iPhone" on July 30th, 2007; covering negotiations with China Mobile in "China Mobile Selling iPhones" on 11/27/07 regarding the sale of the iPhone, as well the apparent failure of negotiations between Apple and China Mobile at Mobile Messaging 2.0 where I am a featured columnist in my January 20, 2008 post  "Apple Rides the Dragon: Not!".

So, faithful readers, remember you read it here first!

Would expect no less from you Paul. I was reading the article wondering if the reporter had read your blog.
