Apple's heavily promoted iPhone ended 2007 as what one analyst calls the fastest-growing consumer electronics product ever. And research analysts expect sales to top Apple's projections for 2008.

But don't look for a new model early this year, analysts say. Apple (AAPL) historically makes new-product announcements at the Macworld conference, scheduled this year for Jan. 14. Many fans are looking for Apple CEO Steve Jobs to introduce a possibly smaller iPhone.

Independent analyst Richard Doherty of the Envisioneering Group believes upgrades will be offered for the existing iPhone, including access to a faster Internet network and an improved battery.

Apple declined to comment.

"Apple declined to comment", boy that's a funny one. Of course they declined, they want to be able to keep the suspense going until the MacWorld conference, duh...

Steve Jobs knows he as a really captive audience. It will be interesting to see what they've got planned and what will be announced. I guess they got me in suspense too!
