Apple blows through expectations on last quarter's expectations. Some quarterly state:
- 2.612 million Macs,
- 11 million iPods,
- 6.9 million iPhones during the quarter.
- $7.9 Billion Revenues for the quarter,
- $1.14 billion profit
- Gross margin up to 34.7% from 33.6% a year ago.
Apple topped over 10,000,000 iPhones in 2008 with 1 complete quarter yet to go.
Apple WOW! Ping!

Your question has now been answered... yes, Apple WILL indeed sell more than 10,000,000 iPhones in 2008 and in fact will sell far more than 1% of the market.

RIM has become the next victim being crushed beneath the treads of the Apple iPod/iPhone Juggernaut.
Which is good, because their products are in fact crap. :P
Nokia and Samsung are now in the unenviable position of needing to innovate or die in the smartphone space.
And Ballmer has the answer to his question - Who’s going to buy a $500 smartphone? Answer: Apparently a lot of people - just not if it runs Palm, WindowsMobile, or RIM.

This quarter included the lucrative months of send your kid off to college with a new computer. :) And Apple’s part of the pie is impressive.
