Apple's iPhone: Is 10 Million Units In 2008 Realistic?

Apple is buying the chips (processor, memory, audio, radio,power,...) the screen and the case.
so anybody can then !
even if apple OS is good, others Oses are as good or near and then sufficients.
then they still have to be telecom certified worldwide.
copies from production sites area, will arrive as soon as this type of phone has success.

Iphone is not going to displace Nokia, nor LG, nor Sony Ericson soon, (Motorola will resist also!)
but it sounds possible to get 10 million phone out of a 1 billion/year cell phone market.

and reinharden seem to ignore china and india out of 1.3 and 1.1 billion there is a growing number of wealthy people (soon more than in US and Europe alltogether!) able to buy expensive phones!
without also taking russia and or south america into consideration
some should try to not be too USA centrics when they talk economy and look at new scales in 2007 and after!
