| | | I give Apple kudos for the effort of a strong convergence gadget, but I think someone else will step up with something far better
read: Blackberry with a killer multimedia adapter.

| | Estimate puts iPhone sales at 500,000 in opening weekend - Jul. 2, 2007
iPhone sells half a million. on their biggest weekend. and they expect to sell 10 million by the end of 2008.
i don't see it. Let's say all the normal people stay away from the crazy opening weekend, then buy - that's another couple hundred thousand. Then the normal upgrade cycle, maybe 50,000 per week (that's very generous) - even over the next 2 years, that's only 5 million.

| | | as far as greey Apple taking over the world, their plan is slightly more modest... 1% cell phone market by the end of 2008. They better fix the glitches...

I'd worry about the glass screen. Originally, until very recently, it was high impact plastic. And it went through R&D and QA testing with it. THen they switch to glass at the last minute. When I do things like this at work it always spells disaster.
Dropped iPhone = hello nicely shattered glass display. It'll look like a windshield after a bat hit | .
