::: {.Section1} [Scoble is saying that the phone deal at the PDC (a super-high-end phone for \$149) was a real screw-up and not the trickle-feed that I was sure it was. At JavaOne, they always play the same game of saying on the first day “Oh, we ran out!” and then on the second day saying “Well, we found another couple hundred,” and then on the last day “You know what? We love you guys so much, we’re going to give you all one!” I was absolutely certain that it was the same with the phone deal, but Scoble says, nope, it was a screwup. If so, it’s a really, really stupid one.]{style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial"}[ ]{style="font-style:italic"}
