Some people, such as yourself apparently, and correct me if I'm wrong in that though it seems so from your posts here, have argued also that "in" 2008 doesn't mean the same thing as "by the end of 2008", which is the way I was describing the situation.
Selling 10M in 2008 is the same as selling 10M starting at the beginning of 2008 and reaching the goal by the end of 2008.
Selling 10M in 2008 is NOT the same as selling 10M total including those sold in 2007 (which is what many people insisted, that they would have sold 10 million overall by some point in 2008 - usually misquotedly phrased as "apple will have sold 10M iphones by the end of 2008" which apple never said).
Selling 10M in 2008 is the same as selling 10M starting at the beginning of 2008 and reaching the goal by the end of 2008.
Ok, I guess it couldn't be the last time.
Yes, that what I said.
At least we agree on that.

Yes. I agree with your saying about that too.
If you somehow think that that's what I said when I said by the end of 2008 ( that it meant Apple will have sold 10m phones by the end of 2008), it wasn't. the first point was what I meant, which I now hope is finally cleared up.

I was hoping for "Oh and one more thing", have Jobs walk out and...
*sigh*
I know, I know... but they did the right thing by not letting Steve's status overshadow any announcements.
"K guys. We're taking our seats."
K guys, maybe next time you can try "K folks".
you serious? grab a life.
There's no such thing as MS fanboys. Just users desperately trying to justify lousy products from a mediocre company.
I set up the chat for you guys, i even set the language to english, and you say, that there are only fanboys for f***** Microsoft?
