It's hard to say. Apple recently released an online tool that tracks the status of iPhone 3GS shipments across each of its 210 retail stores in the United States. This suggests that Apple is still concerned about the retail availability for it customers. While store employees might welcome the decrease in the number of times they have say, "yes we have it" or "no we're out" over the phone, the question remains: Isn't the whole concept of availability-tracking a little too late? http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/cellphones/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20090630/tc_pcworld/fahrenheit113hotiphonestragicnumber pcworld/20090630/fahrenheit113hotiphonestragicnumber PC World technology Tue, 30 Jun 2009 13:13:00 GMT PC World - The manager at my local Apple Store looked a little grim when I mentioned iPhone 3GS overheating and battery problems yesterday.
