We have no doubts Apple will reach its goal and sell 10 million iPhones by the end of the year. Speaking at a Goldman Sachs investment conference, Apple’s COO Tim Cook said he has “really good confidence” the company will reach its target on time.
There are three main reasons why I agree with Mr Cook:
- There are still untapped markets. Ireland may be one of the next few countries that will get an iPhone. In addition, the Italian language support is already present on the device, hence we may see the Steve bringing its shiny handset to the fashion-aware Italian consumers.
- The SDK is coming and so is the better support for the enterprises. The exact date is now known and it’s March 6th.
- Unlocking is getting simpler thanks to the applications like ZiPhone. Yeah, Apple may lose the revenue sharing deal with the carriers, but they still make decent money from the handset sales alone.
Have I missed anything? Any comments?

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
