For the real projections, ask the folks on Wallstreet. Apple has consistentely been below projections, hence the price drop, the early release in Europe, the release in Europe of unlocked iPhones. Their projections and expectations were WAY too high.
Despite the media and the Jobs love affair, Apple is begging people to buy iPhones. The number they want to hit is 45 Million in 2009. To put things in perspective, for every iPhone sold, RIM sells 4 blackberries. And Nokia sold 50 million phones in China this year. Apple is still a very, very small fish in the cell phone world. Welcome to reality, hows that for an iPhone commercial? Maybe the "i" should stand for "idoit" since thats the target market for Apple. Its all the users who can't figure out the other PDAs.
