Target: 1,000,000... Available ~700,000

You know, I would love to ask these guys claiming a 1,000,000 sales target a question.

According to more than one source, they are finally running out of phones at stores, and they are estimated to have sold around 700,000 of the things. (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=a7A4BDWusr2U&refer=news)

So, how could the possibly have a target of 1,000,000 phones when 300,000 of those like, you know, don't actually exist yet.

Or, is it all a big futile cover up to PRETEND not to have any phones, so that, uh.... They don't make any more money from them yet...

Excellent question

The other thing is that Apple said they hoped to sell 10 million in the first year. They sold 700,000 in the first three days. Obviously that's going to drop off sharply, but how many do you think they're going to sell over the holidays? And when the second model comes out?

Goodness gracious!

Hey. I've detailed (over on Rip Ragged) a whole host of things that the iPhone
won't do.

"Cure cancer and solve world hunger"? Puh-leeze. That is just lame.

Besides not being able to remember names of people you meet at the grocery
store that you haven't seen in a few years, it also doesn't accurately handicap
horse races, correct nearsightedness beyond 20/50, or brew a decent cup of
french roast. What's worse, the rounded edges make it grossly ineffective as a
bottle opener.
