Apple will have 3 million iPhones available at launch  

BusinessWeek is reporting that not one, but two sources have told them that Apple plans to have 3 million iPhones on hand upon launch. Apple, of course, will not comment on the numbers, and that's all the detail we get. 3 million is certainly nothing to sneeze at and would go against every instinct that every Mac user has developed over (at least) the last five to seven years. We're definitely used to waiting for our products (although we're still not happy about it).  Given that number, it would seem that nearly everyone who waits in line for an iPhone when it comes out should be able to get one, and then some. 3 million might even be a little bit of overkill, which would be a welcome change. Of course, Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster predicts that Apple will sell all of 3.2 million iPhones in the entire year (well, half a year, anyway), so maybe Apple is hoping to break that record early. (Munster says he also expects Apple to sell 12.4 million iPhones in 2008 and a whopping 45 million in 2009

3 million iPhones …gawdamn. Thats alot of hooch. Here's to hoping that it's a success and dosn't bomb its way into the history books.  If they open it up so that developers can create software for it… it will be a huge success. It may very well become the next nokia… you remember the one… that brick that your grandfather had when cell technology was first being adopted… yeah that one….
