Microsoft: iPhone sold 6.9m? Yeah, okay, whatever

Apple sold 6.9 million iPhones in their fourth financial quarter last year, and Microsoft’s response was to say “Yeah, great,” and make wanking motions in the air.

Go, go Engadget!:

“Apple had a big launch of a new product, and they launched at scale in a lot of new countries with a lot of new [wireless] operators. This quarter, RIM is having its big launch, and at some point we’ll have our big launch. We’ll have to see where things normalize.” While that statement is encouraging for the fact that it semi-implies that Windows Mobile 7 is supposed to be released at “some point,” we’re not sure we’re picking up what Robbie is putting down — 6.9 million of a single device seems to imply a bit more than “launch buzz.”

Microsoft is perhaps best known as the maker of the legendary Zune music player, the little device that’s captured America’s hearts and made us believe in love again.
