Yesterday (well, CET in any case), Apple posted its financial results for the second quarter of the 2008 fiscal year (which ended 29 March). While sales of Macintosh laptops and desktops soared to ever greater heights, and while sales of the iPod consolidated itself, the news is not so good for the iPhone. And the dodo will have an Apple TV to play with, soon.

Are you serious, or are you being intentionally obtuse? I think you are embracing a crack pipe. People buy iPods, computers, and televisions all year long, but mysteriously sales increase around Christmas. Maybe because people give gifts for Christmas. Christmas tree sales plummeted last quarter too. I guess they are going the way of the Dodo.
A more significant financial indicator would be a comparison against same quarter sales last year, but the iPhone was not on sale in Q1 2007.
Here's another theory for you. AT&T pre-announced the release of the 3G iPhone quite some time ago, and the buzz has increased over the last few months. People are waiting for the 3G model, especially in Europe. It is actually impressive how many they sold last quarter considering this.
