Facebook iPhone Poll: Good news or Bad news for Apple at iPhone Unlocked

From my iPhone Blog:

facebook poll

Facebook iPhone Poll: Good news or Bad news for Apple at iPhone Unlocked
the rest being some form of undecided.

This actually looks like great news for Apple. The 7% of yes repondents represent ~140,000 of Facebook’s 20M users. At $500 a pop, that’s 70M in revenue for Apple (perhaps more if they get a kickback from AT&T, something that could be as much as 50% of the cost of service). That 7% also represents people who are apparently ready to buy soon. That’s a significantly higher penetration rate than the 1% Apple is shooting for in the overall mobile phone market (at least for the time being).
