iPhone 2 iConflict?


This is a big week for Apple.

Globally, we are hours away from the launch of the much hyped and long-awaited iPhone.

Yet it was news from New Zealand yesterday that has my attention. Apple Mac New Zealand distributor Renaissance Corporation bought the country's largest Apple reseller - MagnumMac.

17 years ago, I worked in the Apple UK Sales Channel. Then, there were two channels: Distribution and Retail. Both distinct and both completely separate. If I woke up this morning as a New Zealand Apple Accredited reseller, I would be looking at yesterday's news with real intent. And possibly, with real concern.
