to three times higher compared to the forecasts of the other analysts. They said that 11 million units will be sold in 2008 and there would only be 26 million units in 2009.

The articles from BusinessWeek also said that Apple Inc.’s new production goals will be 40 up to 45 million iPhone handsets starting this month until August of 2009.
