You'd think that people would be getting sick of reading about Apple's new iPhone. Or at least that jaded hacks would tire of writing about it. But no. The Apple 2.0 blog reports that the volume of news coverage about the iPhone has nearly doubled since iDay. A chart by Blackfriars Communications, a research firm, shows that from June 29, the day the iPhone launched, to July 8, when it peaked at 22,605 stories. In one day. Even now, Google News is still reporting more than 20,000 daily stories mentioning the iPhone. Add, to that staggering total, this one.
