Amazing how this "oft-stated goal" does NOT correspond with what Jobs said ... 1% of world market IN 2008 ... which would mean 10 million sold IN 2008.

Since they are claiming they sold 4 million in 2007, does this mean thay are saying they have "really good confidence" the company COULD sell 6 million in 2008 to reach their 10 million goal ?

It appears they are also attempting to spin the promise to release an SDK by the end of this month into something else, but I really can't make out what.

I don’t understand why Apple doesn’t sell unlocked iPhones at a premium - like $699 or something in that range. If I’m not mistaken I believe they do that in Europe.

Also if i go to an AT&T store or Apple store now, don’t I have to sign a 2 year contract before I can walk out with the phone? If so, where are all these unlocked iPhones without a contract coming from?

Apple says the iPhone is on track to 10 million sales in 2008... PING!

And, yes, RS, the release of the iPhone Software Developers' Kit IS six days after the February target date of having it in the hands of developers... shame on Steve Jobs... shame, shame, shame... SIX DAYS?! God created the entire Universe in just six days... why couldn't Steve Jobs do the same??? Oh, the humanity... it's a disaster!

Besides... The iPhone SDK was in the hands of some developers in February: the SDK developers...
