      Apple's "Anywhere" iPhone Has Far From Peaked
      Carl, I'm surprised you don't think Apple can make its oft stated goal of 10 million iPhones in calendar year 2008. You have an odd way of saying this though. First you assert wrongly that the goal is 10 million by the end of CY2008: "And in case anyone was confused, that's the benchmark that Steve Jobs set: 10 million phones by the end of 2008, ...." Then you say you believe they'll exceed that bogus goal: "I see Apple easily exceeding that goal by about 25% by the end of calendar 2008." Given that they said they sold 4 million iPhones by MacWorld SF 2008, that leaves only (10M + 25% = 12.5M; 12.5M - 4M = 8.5M) to be sold by your estimate in the rest of CY2008. Unless you think they sold over 1.5M phones before MWSF in 2008, that means you don't think they'll 10 million iPhones in CY2008.

      Apple said what they said repeatedly. No matter how many times journalists misreport what they said it doesn't change reality. Please get your facts right.

      Now, given this corrected reality, do you really believe Apple will not make its goal? Or do you want to adjust that?

      Sources for the real Apple prediction are all from Apple directly (or indirectly by transcript).
      1. Try listening to Steve's MWSF keynote again. A link to the Quicktime video is here <www.apple.com/quicktim...;. You'll find the relevant statements at 1:16:40-1:17:15 into it.
      2. Look at the transcript of Apple's FQ307 earnings conference call at <seekingalpha.com/artic...;. Search for the text "Finally, we reiterate our goal of selling 10 million iPhones in calendar 2008."
      3. Look at the transcript of Apple's FQ108 earnings conference call at <seekingalpha.com/artic...;. Search for the text "we remain confident in our goal for 10 million for calendar 2008."
      4. You can also try listening to Tim Cook's talk from yesterday again. Yes, he says it again.
