...interesting story. Of the 1600 searches that contained "iPhone," the most common theme was cost, with five of the top 20 searches looking for pricing information. The 8th most popular (and optimistically naive) query confirms our suspicions from my last column, "free iPhone." The second most popular search mission is for reviews of the new phone. There were also a few disgruntled searchers - "problems with iPhone" was at #6, and "smashing my iPhone" in the #20 position actually led to a YouTube video that has had over 100,000 views since last week...
