First, some question whether there will be anything like 3 billion wireless phones and other devices sold in 2010. After all, that would mean nearly one phone or handheld sold that year for every two people in the world. To put that in context, mobile-phone sales totaled 222 million in 1999, and only 40 million were based on CDMA, Micrologic Research says. The research firm predicts that total sales will reach only 508 million in 2004, quite a ways short of 3 billion.

Yes, 508 million is "quite a ways short of 3 billion". But then, 2004 is quite a ways short of 2010. Not to mention that the current world population is 6 billion. It's expected to be 6.83 billion in 2010. Am looking forward to TRJ apres-dinner post.
