Free iPod Touch

The iphone has had an unparalleled success thus far, hope it keeps going :)

Christopher Billich

Hi,

German news site DER SPIEGEL reported some additional numbers on iPhone sales and usage for the German market a couple days ago which I think you may find interesting:

- T-Mobile has only sold 70,000 in Germany, making it the weakest of all markets the device has been selling in
- ARPU for iPhone users is up to three times higher than non-iPhone user ARPU
- iPhone users' mobile web usage is 30 times than of non iPhone-users!

The article at http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/mobil/0,1518,531187,00.html (sorry, in German) quotes the source as an internal memo at T-Mobile.

So yes, while sales in number of devices terms may not be that great, I think the potential rise in ARPU and specifically the way this thing is opening people's eyes with regard to the mobile web, the effect of the iPhone seems to be pretty profound.

BTW, agree with your opinion that we need a better iPhone in Asia...especially here in Japan and Korea ;-)

Hi Christopher and Alan

Thank you Christopher for the German numbers. Yes, seems to fit the pattern. I also saw something from France somewhere this week that apparently French iPhone numbers have done pretty well.

Like Alan said, thanks for reading and posting

Tomi :-)
