It doesn't match with other sources of information I have. What struck me is that the Italian sales data is strangely low, considering that Italy is a market at least as big as the UK and Germany for mobile phones, if not bigger (about two SIMs per every living Italian). Here (Italian only) http://www.onemobile.it/17/07/2008/iphone-buoni-i-numeri-delle-vendite/ you can read that TIM, one of the Italian mobile operators selling the iPhone, declared to have sold 16,000 units in the first 24 hours. I don't know how many units were sold by Vodafone, but these 16k are still more than the 8k units sold in all Italy in three days according to Medialets. This other site (Italian only) http://www.iphoneitalia.com/liphone-3g-batte-il-record-di-vendite-al-lancio-2754.html states that Italy is the third country for sales of the iPhone 3G, after the USA and the UK.

Roughly 1 out of every 2,000 Canadians has an iPhone. In Mexico, there's 1 iPhone for every 7000 people. There's about 3 times as many people in the US as Mexico (and 9 times as many as Canada).

I'm being told that they don't even have a date of delivery yet and that it might take a couple more weeks. So much for reach in Austria. Reach in Austria:

Of course, the two figures are hardly comparable, as the the 3G version launched simultaneously worldwide in 21 countries - the original iPhone was exclusive to the US for months after its release. Unsurprisingly, the report says the United States accounts for 60% of all units sold during the three day period, with a total of 600,000.

If you look at Mac market share, their domestic market share has been ~8%, but only ~3% worldwide. When you account for the percentage of PCs sold in the US versus the rest of the world, you're probably left with non-US Mac sales in the sub-2% range. No matter how few iPhones are sold abroad, the numbers can't be worse than the Mac sales figures. Isn’t this similar to a problem that Apple’s always had, namely an inability to dent foreign markets?
