Um, no they don't- the correction was posted a few hours later, as I
predicted:

money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/newstex/AFX-0013-20913866.htm

"CORRECTION 02 Europe chief executive encouraged by early iPhone sales
November 12, 2007: 08:43 AM EST
(Corrects iPhone sales figure to read tens of thousands, not hundreds of
thousands)"


I already posted this correction once- apparently you missed it.
Interesting that CNN leaves an incorrect news article up even after
publishing the correction. Sloppy of them. Maybe the "Dewey beats
Truman" article is still in their archives! ;-)

and every one of those reports came from companies not allowed to sell
the iphone.

Britain's largest carrier O2, simply had this to say:

it's "the fastest selling device we have ever seen".

stick with FACTS Stephan, it will help your reputation.
