The iPhone is mouth watering to the gadgeteers. It offers everything you want in an all in one device. It has a great form and sense of usability. However, out of 20 non-work related friends, I am the only one with a PDA/Smartphone. None of them which really have a desire to pay into the hundreds of dollars for a phone like this. They want a phone that makes/recieves calls. That is it. If you think back... it was not until the late 90's when a cell phone was not just for the off site workforce and the Carringtons from Dynasty. It is going to be a LONG while before people feel they need more than a clam shell phone. I for one dont want to share battery life between my iPOD and Phone, nor will 4 or 8GB hold a candle to my 30gb iPOD. It is a great leap in innovation; however I think it is far to ahead of the general publics acceptance right now. You can buy a Moto Q for less than $100 from both Verizon and Sprint. How much do you think an iPhone will launch for?
