Apple, AT&T to sell iPhone ...
Apple revealed in a meeting with Bear Stearns analyst Andrew Neff that customers will be able to purchase the company's forthcoming iPhone at 2,000 retail locations after the device launches in late June. Apple's retail chief Ron Johnson and the director of Mac product marketing Tom Boger told Neff that those locations would consist only of Apple and AT&T retail stores, according to AppleInsider. "Apple affirmed its goal of June release for iPhone and expressed confidence in meeting its target of 10 million unit shipments in 2008 given iPhone's superior user experience, which Apple referred to as 'transformational,'" the analyst wrote. Neff added that Apple is focusing on making its iPhone stand out from the cellular phone crows by improving all areas of the user experience, including those at the sales counter.
