Google Map mashup showing iPhone availability at Apple Stores


[Click on the above image for a larger version]

iPhones are beginning to get scarce this holiday week. As a result, I've taken the iPhone data that Apple provides from its Web site, and created a Google Map that presents that data across the US. It's just a rough draft so far, but at the very least, it provides us with some insight about where iPhones are plentiful and where they are scarce. Since it is built on the Google Maps API, you can zoom into any area and tailor it to your particular driving tolerance. Enjoy.

Nota bene: this does not show AT&T stores, only Apple ones.

UPDATE: Apple updated their stock listing overnight, mostly to show more stores out of stock. My current count is that only 30 Apple Stores have iPhones as of 6 am EDT.
