30 million Windows Phone 7 Devices Sold by the End of 2011? Microsoft says Yes

"To state the obvious, that's pretty ambitious any way you slice it -- especially considering that the first Windows Phone 7 devices are still quite a few months away from hitting the market, giving Microsoft just over a year to reach that mark."
So I took 30 million and divided it by 12 and then multiplied it by 5. That comes out to 12.5 million Windows Phone 7 devices sold by May 2011. Is this a wild pipe dream or do you actually think they'll sell that many? To be honest, I laughed at this optimistic projection. Just seems like an awful lot of devices but who knows, maybe it'll be that good. Maybe it will be so cool and innovative - everyone will want one. Do you think they'll sell 30 million by the end of next year?
