Business Weekis citing an inner Apple sourcetoday who is hinting at the society ’s upcoming manufacturing design for the 3 G , and they ’re immense - between 40 and 45 million phones by this meter next class kind of huge . The numbers are necessary , manifestly , to cover for the impendingBest Buy availabilityand the additional 20 countries that make up the 2d phase angle of the external launch starting today ( with over 70 launches eventually , China rumored to be among them ) . But , wow . How about some linear perspective ? That ’s just under the full number of RAZRs ship through July of 2006 ( the last prison term anyone cared)-a little less than 3 years into the earphone ’s life . And it equals nearly a third of the 170 million or so iPods that have been sold as of third quarter 2008 - another product that ’s had almost a decade - long heading start . And this is a smartphone , with a long - term loyalty to an expensive service programme . Pretty bountiful number , even if it ’s still a driblet in the pail when you take worldwide cellphone sales into doubt ( every individual phone is ) . And if every iPhone manufacture links up Skynet style via the iTunes stock , tomelt their unsuspicious ownersand form their own sovereign land - land somewhere , they ’d be the 29th - largest state in the earthly concern - sliding in comfortably between Ukraine and Colombia .
