Number of iPhones in NYC
1.5 million-ish iPhones have been sold, up to the point a few weeks ago that they started being sold internationally. There are 8.2 million people in NYC, which is 2.7% of the 301 million living in the USA. Assuming iPhones were distributed evenly across the US, that'd be something around 40,000 phones here.

But I'm guessing that they're not distributed evenly, and that the coasts and tech centers have many times more than the middle of America. If anyone has any other good leads, step on up!

I suspect there are more than 40,000 just in my workplace (: We each seem to have about a dozen of the things. It's tempting to try to write a worm that will cause them all to ring at the same moment, roughly three months after it's released to the wild. It would be hilarious (:

But that would be totally immoral :D

Yeah, overheard a few months ago:
"The only way you could see more iPods on the subway would be if everyone started carrying more than one around."

So maybe that's what happened. :P
