Although, that seems like it would be true if it was the first kid on
the block. But this market has been thick for a while now. They will
make sales just on the basis that they are Apple, that the device/UI is
sexy looking, and that it is "lucratively" priced just outside of the
reach of the average blue collar hands. But by no means do I think 1 in
10 will buy it. Have you seen Google Maps or Virtual Earth over
GPRS/EDGE? Ugh. UMTS/HSDPA is incredible.

Most people take the shiny free phone when offered, and it doesn't do
much and they either say "ho hum" or complain about it. Some people
actually care about features, and usability, and heck, some even care
about the "wow/cool" factor - those people are willing to pay for
phones. The iPhone just might have enough features, good usability,
and the "wow/cool" factor to make people think that buying a phone is
a good idea.
