Latest iPhone Numbers...

Analyists vary, but the most recent estimates are that Apple has sold up to 950,000 iPhones to date, and the most recent estimate is that roughly by the 2008 election, there will be about 14 million iPhone users.

As I've mentioned before, this is a key number in and of itself, but also as it forces the competition to raise the bar on friendly media capable phones... and makes mobile media in general more of a factor for outreach for the 08 timeframe and beyond.

Also, the very high satisfaction rating current iPhone users are showing also points to the iPhone as living up to a good deal of Job's hype for the product. Good for Apple. And good for the industry as a whole. And it should be an accelerant for mobile media effecting the politcal sphere as well...
