Let's not be naive folks
The original leak of the new iPhone 4G or HD or whatever its called was no mistake. Do you really think some Apple employee really just left the demo handset in a San Jose area bar and somehow it made it into the hands of a gizmodo reporter? Please
This is all planned and calculated and Apple isn't the only company that pulls promo stunts like this

Apple earnings soar on strong iPhone, Mac sales
Company says its adding production capacity for more iPads
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Apple Inc said Tuesday that profit rose 90% in its fiscal second quarter as it sold almost 9 million iPhones, easily topping analyst estimates in both profit and sales amid a surge in demand in international markets.
Shares of Apple (AAPL 270.14, -0.70, -0.26%) jumped more than 5% in after-hours trading following the report after closing the regular session down 1% at $244.59. The stock has climbed 16% so far this year. As usual, the company issued a highly conservative earnings forecast for the June quarter that was below Wall Street's estimates.
Digits: Apple Profit Soars
Stronger than expected iPhone sales -- 131% more than in the year-ago quarter -- drive earnings higher for Apple. In addition, unit growth for Mac desktops and laptops come in strong. Stacey Delo and Rex Crum hash out the numbers.
Sales of the company's popular iPhone drove the quarter, with unit sales up more than 130% from the same period last year.
"Basically, the iPhone stole the show," said Brian Marshall of Broadpoint AmTech Research. He noted that the device showed "fairly significant upside" compared to Wall Street's estimates for the quarter.
For the March period, the Cupertino, Calif.-based company said net income came in at $3.07 billion, or $3.33 per share compared to net income of $1.62 billion, or $1.79 per share, for the same period last year.
Revenue jumped 49% to $13.5 billion.
Analysts were expecting earnings of $2.45 per share on revenue of $12 billion, according to consensus forecasts from Thomson Reuters.
Apple said it sold 8.75 million iPhones for the quarter; analysts were expecting sales of a little over 7 million. In a conference call with analysts, Apple chief operating officer Tim Cook credited much of the increase to strong sales in international markets -- in Asian markets in particular.
"If you look at Asia Pacific as an example, iPhone unit sales grew 474% year over year," he said, describing demand for the device as "fabulous."
The company sold 2.94 million total Mac units, with desktop unit sales up 40% from the same period last year. The company sold nearly 10.9 million iPods -- down 1% from last year, though total iPod revenue was up 12% for the year, suggesting growing popularity for the higher priced iPod Touch.
Analysts were expecting Mac sales of about 3 million units and iPod sales of about 9.75 units.
The quarter did not include any sales figures for the iPad, which went on sale on April 3 after the period ended.
A sequential decline?
For the June quarter, Apple said it expects earnings to come in between $2.28-$2.39 per share, with revenue expected to be in the range of $13 billion to $13.4 billion. Wall Street had been looking for earnings of $2.70 per share on revenue of $12.97 billion, according to Thomson Reuters.
On the call, Cook was asked whether the iPad could cannibalize sales of existing product lines, such as the MacBook or iPod Touch.
"Going forward, now that we're selling into April, we really don't have enough experience to come to a judgment yet. So we'll see hot goes," Cook said. "We're obviously thrilled with the sales of the iPad. They have far exceeded our expectations, and we feel we're off to a great start."
Apple's revenue guidance for the June quarter implies a decline sequentially from the recent period. Chief financial officer Peter Oppenheimer said the company factored in several items into the forecast, including lower average selling prices due to the beginning of the education selling season, a stronger U.S. dollar, and "product transitions."
The company has not announced plans for a new iPhone, but analysts widely expect the line to be refreshed this summer. A gadget blog on Monday ran photos of what was purported to be the next version of the iPhone, which was reportedly left in a local bar by an Apple employee.
