iSuppli Issues Clarification on Smart Phone Market Share Release

September 6, 2007

iSuppli Corp. would like to issue a clarification regarding its press
release of Sept. 4 regarding the Apple iPhone's market share relative
to competing smart phone models.

iSuppli's sell-through research and the subsequent press release
indicated that the iPhone outsold all smart phone models in July in
the United States on an individual basis. While iSuppli stands by this
analysis, it is important to note that iPhone's retail sales did not
exceed the combined retail sales of the entire BlackBerry line of
smart phones (approximately twice that of the iPhone if taken in
total) in the United States in July.

Aha, I see you're "playing games with statistics".
