This pretty much hits it on the head.  The moment the iPhone becomes
available it's going to become the "must have" fashion gadget for
everyone on the planet who is 13-49.

$499-$599 for a small breakable device that is probably not
upgradeable, has outdated EDGE radio, can't have its battery replaced
and forces you into a new 2 year contract with the mobile provider?

Joe 6 pack won't be able to pull his (or mommy and daddy's) credit card
out fast enough to make this dream a reality.

I fully expect Apple to give away about 10,000 of these to professional
athletes and movie stars just so that they are quickly seen in the hands
of society's "elite" and all the normal folks who are already afflicted
with the worst consumerism seen in this country since the 1930's are in
an absolute rabid frenzy to get ahold of one.
