Chalk it all up to AT&T;'s wide variety of Microsoft Windows Mobile based smartphones:

• BlackJack II by Samsung
• Motorola Q
• Pantech Duo
• Palm Treo 750

I would say a sizable portion or the 1.3 new subscribers are enjoying revolutionary new phones with Internet Explorer Mobile + Microsoft's mobile office apps to stay productive and in touch with their colleagues in the workplace (a.k.a. 'the real world'). On weekends they're letting their hair down and rocking some WMA format music files. You get the best of both worlds.

Your potential. Our passion.™

get zuned

Love ya, ZT

Zune Tang, you are a......


......ah forget it. I love ya Zune, I know of no one else with spectacles as rose tinted as you.

And keep supporting Micro$oft, the two of you deserve each other.

MW: movement. Also known as a Zune.

Bloody hell people are sloppy, both MarketWatch and MDN report:

"in the 2006 first quarter"

We all know, but still, someone should do a bit of proof reading...

Ok PC dweeb, let me tell you a story.

When we were discussing computers for our startup company I suggested Macs.
To my surprise, the investor told me that he liked the idea. His last startup had used all Dull PCs. They were such rancid pieces of CRAP that he said he was glad Dull HQ is not in this area, because he'd go over there and tell them personally what he thought of their POS computers. I was amazed. He had nothing but contempt for PCs, used language I can't repeat here, and was glad to be in a startup that ditched them for something better.

How many others have exactly the same experience, but there is nobody in the room that knows of any alternative to the crapola Micros**t riddled nightmare.

So you know what? You can post your idiotic blather, but you are the one stuck using third rate junk, I for one would rather use a pencil than touch another worthless PC. The pencil is more reliable.

Just imagine what those number would be without all those whiners saying...I'm not switching to AT&T;, wah wah wah, AT&T;sucks, wah wah wah, the iPhone will never catch on.' well GUESS WHAT?!

oh yeah, and Tang, what did we say......we get it. now scoot on home.

@ macaday:

True dat.

Go Go Tang!!!! My favorite Moon-race drink!!!! And Astronauts love it too!!!!!!!

Either it's less iPhones sold then expected, or ATT had a net loss of customers without the iPhone to offset things.

Now if the quality of AT&T;'s service would expand to match their profits, we'd really have something. I love my iPhone, but AT&T;mobile service really bites the big one. I thought Verizon was bad... until I switched to AT&T;!

When I think about it, "Tang" is a really good metaphor for MicroSoft: It does have flavour but it's not anything like the real deal. It's a bad copy. It tastes sweet at first but soon the flavour loses its attraction and becomes dull. It tries to dress itself up on the outside package to appear enticing but on the inside it's only another mundane powder; sugar water. Both monkeys (Ballmer) and Tang have been shot to the moon because they didn't want to risk sending anything truly valuable.

It's so good to be Apple's partner these days...
