Consequentially, we predict that by 2012, approximately 200 million people will be fixing their checking for goop between their teeth every time they think about answering the phone.
According to Barclays' analyst Ben Reitzes, Apple will have shipped somewhere in the neighborhood of 85 million Facetime-capable devices to consumers by the end of the 2011 fiscal year, leading to a 200 million Facetime rocking device crescendo by the the end of Fiscal year 2012.
