The blogs are buzzing with the latest prediction that Apple will sell 45 Million iPhones by 2009! Note that in 2007, all smartphone vendors combined sold only 38 Million units. So, how is Apple going to pull this off? According to popular blogging, they will do this by introducing next generation devices. Some bloggers are going even further and predicting the demise of the Blackberry in the face of such a conquest by the iPhone. So, what do I think?
