We’ve got to hand it to Microsoft — when it sets a goal, it really sets a goal. As you can see in the slide above shown during a ReMix event in Paris yesterday, Microsoft is apparently expecting to sell 30 million Windows Phone 7 devices by the end of 2011, based on IDC projections. 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. Even more impressive is the fact that the figure apparently doesn’t include other “Windows Phone” devices like the Kin, but maybe that’d just make 30 million a piece of cake.
