Apple had a communication today that they already sold 4 million ipods today, and they are still selling 20.000 extra each day!
In the first 3 months they have reached a total of 1,4 million sold units already!

Indeed, this was iPhones. The oh-so-almighty Steve Jobs said this in his keynote speech.

They claimed to have 19.5% of the smart phone market share in Q3 in the united states. But global, I believe they've got less than 0.4%

@mizzle - Thanks for the INFO pal . . . I think performance-wise, Apple are much better than their competitors As I base it in the saying that: An APPLE a day, keeps the DOCTORs (celfone technicians) . . . away ! [addsig]

I dont think the UK sales has helped towards the 4 million. O2 and CPW shops were selling well below there targets and Steve Jobs has silenced O2 and CPW about the quantities that they have sold.

Remember that Apple has always used "shipping units" in their financial statements.

It's not that hard to come out with 4 million units if O2, Carphone Warehouse, T-Mobile Germany and Orange are holding hundreds of thousands of unsold iphone inventory that were shipped by Apple.

First 3 days --- close to 300K. First full quarter for AT&T --- 1.1 million units. Busy Christmas quarter for AT&T --- at least 1.6-1.8 million units. You already have 3-3.2 million units from AT&T alone.

Orange said 70K sold. England and Germany had a 3 week early start --- so assumed 120K each. You have about 300K iphones sold in Europe.

Add them together you already have 3.3-3.5 million units ACTUALLY sold. So if they are holding a few hundred thousand units in unsold inventory --- then Apple would have met its 4 million unit target.
