The honeymoon might already be over between Apple and AT&T.
The two partners stood in stark contrast Wednesday evening following the
results of Apple's third-quarter earnings, in which the company revealed it
sold 270,000 iPhones in the first 30 hours the product was on sale. Earlier
in the week, AT&T said it had activated only 146,000 iPhones during a
similar period of time.

Kumquats and oranges.
Apple was selling many, many iPhones online for later delivery.
Not all phones sold & delivered Friday and Saturday were
immediately activated.
Is that all so hard to understand?
All the pundits, pre June 29, said Apple hadto sell 200,000
for the 3 day weekend for the rollout to be a success. They sold
270,000 in thew first 2 days. By any measure, the rollout was
a success, and Wall Street so voted with their wallets on July 26.
Meanwhile on July 26, after releasing those numbers the day before
and under pain of Sarbanes-Oxley predicting 1 million sold by end of
October, and 10 million sold in 2008; And AT&T payments to
Apple (Apple's cut of subscription fees) hadn't even started yet.
Apple stock closed up 6 + % on a day when most other stocks were going
down, down, down, with
Dow Jones DOWN 300 points.

Nothing to understand as I made no commentary on the information.

That's merely a headline designed to grab eyeballs, written by: Tom
Krazit (Staff Writer, CNET News.com)
If Mr. Krazit is so mystified by the how & why the numbers appear to
be so different, it just means that he flunked Algebra class in
Freshman year High School...essentially, the one value is a subset of
the other.

On the misinformation, as exhibited by the title of your post.
