One million. That's a lot of anything, but it is certainly a lot of people who have signed up with AT&T/Cingular asking to be notified when the iPhone becomes available.

One million people who want a product that is not yet available. One million people who trust Apple to do something different and to execute it well. One million people subscribing to the idea that this device is exactly what they have been waiting for.

Steve Jobs had set a target of a 1% market share in 2008 which is ten million units. If a product that is not even released can garner the enthusiasm of a million people I cannot imagine how this is going to take off when people actually see the device in the hands of their families, coworkers and friends.

One million people have asked to be contacted about this device. One million people who want this device enough to go out in search of more information.

One million. Anyone still doubt Apple can pull off a 1% market share? I think the biggest problem they will face is meeting demand.
