Problems Mar First Day of Sales for iPhone 4 - NYTimes.com

Destined to become a worst-case scenario case study for how to establish competitive disadvantage through inadequate core business systems

Apple fans who were already unhappy with AT&T, the exclusive carrier for the iPhone in the United States, got another reason to complain about it on Tuesday when Apple and its partners began taking orders for the new iPhone 4.
