Here are your Apple rumors and AAPL stock news items for Monday: 85% of Apple
Stores Cant Keep iPhone 4S in Stock: A Monday report at Apple Insider said that
one month after the iPhone 4S reveal to the public, Apple s (NASDAQ: AAPL )
latest smartphone still is impressively popular. The report detailed a note sent
to investors by Deutsche Bank analyst Chris Whitmore. Whitmore polled 30 Apple
Stores and found that between 85% and 90% of them continued to sell out of
iPhone 4S stock on a daily basis. Apple employees are directing customers to
make an online appointment (first come first serve) for next day pickup at
nearby Apple retail stores as stocks appear to be refreshed daily, Whitmore
said. Apple disappointed some investors when it reported just 17 million iPhones
sold over the third quarter . Given the rate at which the iPhone 4S is selling,
the fourth quarter should close on a higher note. Adobe Brings New Photo, Video
Editing Tools to App Store: Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE ) released its Photoshop
Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10 photo and video editing apps on the Mac App
Store on Monday. Boxed retail copies of both applications were released in
September. Unlike those boxed copies, the Mac App Store editions of both are
missing small features, such as Elements Organizer. Motorola Wins Injunction
Against Apple in Germany: The latest skirmish in the mobile technology
litigation wars has left Apple in hot water in Germany. A Friday report
originating at FOSS Patents (via 9 to 5 Mac ) said that Motorola Mobility
(NASDAQ: MMI ) was awarded an injunction in that country, blocking Apple from
selling its mobile products on the grounds that they infringe on patents held by
Motorola. Apple released a statement later saying that the injunction was a
procedural issue and wouldnt keep the company from selling the iPhone, iPad or
iPod Touch. Apple filed a patent infringement suit against Motorola in August
looking to block the Xoom tablet from sale in Germany. As of this writing,
Anthony John Agnello did not own a position in any of the stocks named here.
