Mhh, if they just sell them at the same rate as of now, they should reach that target - especially as they sign-up more and more countries.
Speaking of a new release of the iPhone: Apple usually has an approx 1.5 year product cycle, so I would not be surprised to see a new iPhone this year. But who knows, it's just speculation and why should this "Mike Elgan" know better? He has no better information than my mother :-) just common sense... |

Mike Elgan has no clue what he's talking about. He just makes stuff up.

It's certainly true that iPhone sales in the UK have been way below predictions, while its (arguably) main rival, the Nokia N95, has been selling like the proverbial hot cakes. I reckon myself it's down to the cost - the iPhone contract in the UK is extremely expensive (a minimum of £55 a month - about US$110), while the N95 can be had at much more reasonable rates.
