How about one based on the Shuffle, for people who just want to talk
to somebody, but don't care who?

brains.

the gold mine of eBay won't happened until christmas, apple's
manufacturing prowess is just too strong, until even santa can't make
enough. then you get into a 4GB going for $1,100, 8GB $1,400 on December
20th or so.

my "educated" guess is Apple will sell 35 million iphones by Dec 31st
2007. this product is THAT good.

the only caveat is what will happen with the iPod line... if they
release a iPod with WiFi and Safari / Mail access, (no phone) the iPhone
will drop to 15 million sold by 12/20/07, but either way, Apple will hit
the 1% cell marketshare within this year, exactly according to
(internal) plan.

and you base this on what level of info???

do you realize how many iPhones I have sold? It's WAY more than any
device apple has EVER sold. Apple will hit 2 million sold by the end of
the month at this rate, so 35 million by christmas time is well within
rational reason.

do you hold stock in old school cell companies? is that your problem?

i'm just asking you to look at facts, nothing more.
