Engadget报道导致苹果股价瞬间跌幅2.7%

苹果此前曾表示，为了保证iPhone手机于今年6月上市，新版Mac OS X系统Leopard将推出到10月推出。按照原计划，Leopard也将于6月推出。

一封据称是苹果发给公司员工的内部电子邮件显示，苹果iPhone手机上市时间已由原定今年6月推迟至10月，新款Leopard操作系统发布时间也由原定今年10月推迟到明年1月。

我们承认，是Engadget首先独家发布了这条消息（全球各大IT公司的内部员工经常给我们提供超级猛料），苹果股价瞬间下挫2.7%（107.89-103.42），不过这封邮件确实曾在苹果内部电子邮件系统中流传（而且苹果内部也证实了这个邮件存在）。但苹果公共关系部门马上和Engadget取得联系，否认了该邮件内容的真实性，较合理的解释是，可能是有人利用苹果内部邮件系统在捣乱，苹果公司内部已经开始追查这起事件。

这个时候，苹果股价又马上反弹回去，我们得承认，苹果的新产品备受业界及投资者关注，同时我们也承认，Engadget 的影响力太大了，炒股的都在看么？

需要指出的是，这个跌幅可是跌去了40亿美金（我们可没说Engadget值40亿美金），苹果加油了！

这下争议来了：有读者认为是Engadget的错，有人认为是Apple内部邮件的错，你认为呢？

You may have received what appeared to be a Bullet*News from Apple. This communication is fake and did not come from Apple.

Apple is on track to ship iPhone in late June and Mac OS X Leopard in October.

It's not anything to make u proud,
It's indeed a horrible demonstration of how the mass media may have influence over our daily life...in a super negative way...

BAD.....to the core...

BTW, u haven't pointed out how readers in US react to this article...

They all get pissed...

It's super harmful to the credibility of Engadget

Say again...It's nothing to be proud of...

假冒的邮件把你们也骗了.

[athlon_830925 @ May 18th 2007 12:02AM]

1楼的回复很诚恳

[Michael @ May 18th 2007 4:46AM]

是我的错

[fcicq @ May 18th 2007 6:30AM]

呵呵,猛一点或许不是件太大的坏事

[Eddie Liu @ May 18th 2007 8:06AM]

邮件不是网友假冒的，是真的，的确是收到了，但内容的真实性就不得而知了，之后也的确收到AppleCare Communications的澄清mail。反正公司内部是没有人发表过什么议论，这件事也就不了了之。

Engadget 的影响力好大啊

[???? @ May 20th 2007 8:31PM]

这种涉及到金融波动的消息还是斟酌一二再发布的好。
