Why are sales 'flat'?

When sales are described as 'flat', it means they aren't growing significantly; they're staying at roughly the same level. The story mentions Apple hopes the iPhone Duo will boost iPhone sales, which have been relatively flat recently. This lack of growth can signal market saturation or a need for innovation to attract new customers.
