I think it's going to be like the Wii all over again. There actually might be more demand for it in a couple weeks than today.
People said the same thing about the first gen iPhone. The demand was easily matched by supply.

Look at it this way... How many people do you know that can actually afford a smart phone like the iPhone? Of those, who already have Blackberries or an equivalent on a multi-year contract?

Unless these people are able to buy out their contracts just to get a flashy phone, I just don't see how the demand is going to be as massive as it was for the Wii.

Time will tell, but precedent has shown that Apple can match the demand relatively quickly.
