Apple nixes call center
Apple is scrapping a Colorado Springs call center, which was going to handle increased call volume related to the iPod and iPhone, citing economic uncertainty and a higher level of product quality after the iPhone OS v2.1 update. An ex-potential employee tells The Gazette that the planned 500-worker site, operated initially by Volt Information Sciences, had already brought on employees with the understanding that the call center would commence training activities on October 13th.
