iPhone generates interest in Cingular

Apple’s new iPhone is also generating more interest and appeal for the Cingular/AT&T's wireless network. A survey conducted by ChangeWave found that interest in the new iPhone remains as strong as it did in January with the first announcement of the new product at MacWorld in San Francisco, CA.

The survey also revealed a loss of interest in both Motorola and Verizon, offering an increase in interest in Cingular Wireless, bringing its shares up to 27% of market shares, as Cingular Wireless has become the most popular choice for wireless provider for future purchases, outstretching Verizon comfortably.

Polling nearly 3,500 people for a period of six days in April, all members of the ChangeWave Alliance, consisting of more than 10,000 professionals in the business, technology, and medical professions at the forefront of change in industry, the ChangeWave survey reveals strong interest. With 1 out of 10 respondents or 9% saying that they would buy the iPhone when it is launched, and another 7% saying that they would buy the iPhone as a gift, this survey reveals the hot demand for the new product.

79% say that they would drop their current wireless carrier and switch to Cingular/AT&T Wireless.
