The Boy Genius Report 消息，从 AT&T 内部传出的停止休假通知显示，Apple 和 AT&T 可能于今年夏天发售 3G iPhone。

这封曝光的内部邮件要求，"由于任务繁重及激动人心的新促销和新产品发布活动"，AT&T 移动部门的员工不得在 6 月 15 日至 7 月 12 日之间休假。

去年 6 月 29 日，iPhone 正式上市前，AT&T 也曾发布内部邮件，要求员工不得在 6 月 15 日至 7 月 15 日期间休假。这封曝光的邮件也提到此事，称"去年此时，我们要求不得在 6 月 15 日至 7 月 15 日期间安排休假，以确保店面有足够的人手。"

邮件还称，去年 iPhone 的销售创造佳绩，但是今年要展开"令人激动的夏季促销大战"，提高销售量并争取"超越去年的销售记录"。邮件还预测"顾客流量将远超平日。"

以下是该份邮件内容：

Vacation Schedules

To: All Employees

Last year at this time we asked that all vacations be scheduled before June 15 or after July 15, to ensure adequate store staffing and to give everyone an equal opportunity to benefit from an exciting product launch. Thanks to your hard work, we experienced excellent sales during the mid-summer period. This year, the numbers you produced in 2007 will be hard to beat; but as a business, we must rise to the challenge, and make every effort to exceed last year's sales results. Your management team is counting on you!

We'll meet the challenge "head-on" by providing an exciting Summer Promotional Launch to enable your sales to soar. We again anticipate heavier than normal customer traffic in our stores, providing an excellent earning opportunity for every front line retail sales consultant (RSC) in company owned retail stores.

To ensure proper staffing during this period, Sales personnel planning to take approved time off are encouraged to schedule their vacations before June 15 or after July 12 to participate in the heavy selling period

Previously approved vacation will be allowed where voluntary rescheduling is not feasible

No additional vacation will be approved for 6/15 - 7/12

If customer traffic is manageable, there may be an opportunity to approve vacation toward the end of the period. Managers will communicate updates as they become available.
