Over time, the numbers from Verizon, AT&T and other US phone companies will cease to be significant as an indicator of overall iPhone sales. I guess those hand-wringing Chicken Littles forgot about the rest of the world. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Asia LOVES Apple! No, the iPhone and iPad are NOT too expensive for Asia. People may balk at the price at first. Then they see their friends using one, they see how slick it is, and suddenly, price is no longer an issue, and like magic they have the $$$ ;-) Also, Asian buyers don't all depend on subsidies from the phone companies, and phone-locking is practically unheard of.
