Una nota di AT&T conferma l’iPhone 3G

Per mesi si è parlato molto in internet dell’arrivo del iPhone 3G di Apple. Quasi tutti concordano che questo verrà presentato durante l’evento Apple del 13 giugno, adesso sta circolando una nota di un impiegato di At&T che conferma ulteriormente le previsioni:

Vacation Schedules

To: All Employees

Last year at this time we asked that all vacations be scheduled before June 15 or after July 15, to ensure adequate store staffing and to give everyone an equal opportunity to benefit from an exciting product launch. Thanks to your hard work, we experienced excellent sales during the mid-summer period. This year, the numbers you produced in 2007 will be hard to beat; but as a business, we must rise to the challenge, and make every effort to exceed last year’s sales results. Your management team is counting on you!

We’ll meet the challenge “head-on” by providing an exciting Summer Promotional Launch to enable your sales to soar. We again anticipate heavier than normal customer traffic in our stores, providing an excellent earning opportunity for every front line retail sales consultant (RSC) in company owned retail stores.

To ensure proper staffing during this period, Sales personnel planning to take approved time off are encouraged to schedule their vacations before June 15 or after July 12 to participate in the heavy selling period

Previously approved vacation will be allowed where voluntary rescheduling is not feasible

No additional vacation will be approved for 6/15 – 7/12

If customer traffic is manageable, there may be an opportunity to approve vacation toward the end of the period. Managers will communicate updates as they become available.


La data del 15 Giugno è allo stesso tempo fattibile, due giorni dopo la fine del WWDC, che non, infatti il 15 è domenica, e non penso che Apple voglia lanciare commercialmente questo prodotto di domenica.

Per la prima volta viene citato l’iPhone 3G, del quale sappiamo che probabilmente oltre ad essere di terza generazione, avrà GPS integrato, una cover in plastica e sarà più piccolo del iPhone attuale, non viene fatta mai menzione della durata della batteria.
