See here. AT&T sent out notices to employees telling them they can’t have vacation between June 15 and July 12 because of “an exciting product launch.”

I know what you’re wondering: Is Dear Leader friggin furious or what? The answer: Officially, yes I am.

You may also be wondering if in fact we instructed AT&T to send out this email and arranged for it to leak to the blogosphere in order to start pumping up the hype machine in advance of the 3G iPhone release.

My answer: No comment.
