iPhone jinxing Harry Potter’s buzz

Three weeks in, and the iPhone buzz is still going hot. In fact, according to Carl Howe over at Blackfriars Marketing, it’s hotter than Harry Potter (hey, that rhymed!). Maybe it’s just my excitement over The Deathly Hallows talking, but I’m not so sure about that (be on the look out for Macworld’s new “Harry Potter Central” blog any day now).

The good news is, if you’re looking to pick up an iPhone, there’s plenty of places where you can do that. Howe has also put up a Google Map that shows you which stores around the country have iPhones in stock and which don’t, pulled from Apple’s own retail status page. Most of the little pins seem to be green at this point, meaning that there are plenty of iPhones available. No doubt, the more negative will spin this to mean that supply is outstripping demand: that’s okay, we prefer being able to get our hands on the next big thing, instead of just staring forlornly at pictures on the Internet.
