No, you couldn't be more wrong -- Apple's last reported quarter profit was $13.06 billion profit from $46.33 billion revenue:

By all accounts over a million (the last number I saw is 1.5m) real iPhones are in use in China, so chances are, yes, they are real.

To the person claiming that the grey market iPhones would be cheaper: if the source is HK, there they sell for 800USD -- then you need to pay the middle man and retailer on top of that. Presumably the official mainland phone will get carrier subsidy -- so yes they will be much cheaper, and that is the point...

I continue to be mystified as to why anyone would seriously consider the Pre over the new iPhone. The iPhone 3.0 http://daringfireball.net/2009/05/the_next_iphone will have twice or four times the capacity as the Pre for the same price (depending on how you wish to count Palm's rebate from the $299 upfront price). The iPhone has a thriving developer community that the will only expand when the iTablet finally gets released, and is unlikely to be duplicated by Palm, even if they stay ion business, which is far from a given.

And finally, the iPhone works worldwide, while the CDMA Pre is a US/Canada only device. That in and of itself decides the choice for me.

Dictionaries are a whole excellent App category that exists on the iPhone, and can be supremely useful when traveling. Microsoft is eliminating them for no discernible reason. Yeah, the MS App store is going to be a HUGE success. Good luck with that.
