[...] Countless handset makers have tried to mimic Apple’s success with the iPhone by creating touch-screen-based device of their own, but the vast majority failed to sell even a fraction of the number of handhelds Apple shipped in 2008 — somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 million devices. [...]

Not calling you dumb, you’re obviously very bright. I worked with Andy on the data to write this article. I was more confident in the NetApp OS share data, but IMEI numbers, checks at Apple stores, talks with BBY manager, all the data I had pointed to same general estimate. And it turned out to be right.

See here: my estimate was 6.8M for Q4- actual was 6.892M. Off by 92K. http://apple20.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2008/10/19/apple-q4-earnings-smackdown/

Turley, you can call me dumb all you want, but the the fact is that the analysis isn’t warranted by the spread of the reported numbers even ignoring the last digit. Run it through SAS or Maple and statistically it also appears that large swaths of the potential 10000000 runs simply weren’t allocated from a probability standpoint. I understand you are an advocate of the article sponsored on seeking alpha. If you actually read the full thread at http://www.macobserver.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=69155
you will see that the keepers of the spreadsheet state that conclusions from the spreadsheet regarding sales are NOT warranted and that attempt at analysis for the 1st gen were NOT rewarding. If you actually read the thread you will see that the author of the article went in with an agenda to make the claim and get it picked up by Jim Goldman, et al. He didn’t understand the TACs and asked for assistance. The participants tried to point out that his conclusions weren’t warranted based on past analysis but his piece was a deliberate advocacy piece with the conclusion created first and an attempt to back it pieced together secondarily. All I am saying is that the data do not truly support the hypothesis without assumptions about that data that do not seem to be supported by a statistical analysis of the spread…

@ noh weigh

The IMEI numbers in the spreadsheet end in 0 because the last digit is not submitted/published for security/privacy purposes therefore zero is used even though the number is actually 0-9.

I looked at IMEI numbers retrospectively on the 1 generation iPhone compared to sales Apple reported and those were good predictors of unit sales.

I think the folks involved in this project and those that follow Apple closely know quite well what’s going on.

You make the statement “bad conclusion” and what you base it off of ( the last digit in multiples of 10) just shows your not very knowledgeable about IMEI numbers nor this effort.

You think the people involved wouldn’t think something was amiss IF all the numbers REALLY did end in zero???

C’mon you have be pretty dumb to think someone else id that dumb.

since you obviously don’t know much about IMEI numbers, Apples production run rates, retail store inventory tracking, etc.
