Folks, you know darned well Edwin will not give you a straight answer
(activations, for example),

I gave you a straight answer. Activations for the iPhone are a
disappointment, and there has been no improvement in a month. You
MacTards want to turn that into me saying there hadn't been even one
activation in July, so that if there were is little as one new
activation you kooks could declare that a 'victory.'

No, we wanted you to go on record on your statement that there has
been "no improvement in a month"

I've already stated that many times. I repeated it in this very post.

which *means* that there hasn't been
a single iPhone activation in July.

Which means nothing of the kind, as I painstakingly spelled out to you
above.

Haha, so "no improvements" can be "small improvements" or "some
improvements"? Classic Edwin :)

If Apple was disappointed by their iPhone sales and is *still* disappointed
at about the same level, then their has been no improvement in their
disappointment - they are just as disappointed.

Plus, he has outright claimed that activations hasn't *increased* over
146.000. "increase" is really a boolean statement. Either it has
increased or it has not.
