It's the one device that will get people in line to go into the stores. Preselling it would just keep customers out of the stores. Why should they presell the iphone?

It will be a big hit when it goes to other carriers. Apple is making a huge mistake in making it only with one carrier. Hope apple gets smart and unlocks it.

I cannot see how useful the touch screen keyboard can be. Society is too used to the qwerty keyboard, and most of us grew up typing 80 words a minute to the qwerty keyboard; therefore, corporate businesses will not adapt to the Iphone. You'll only find Ricky Martin wannabes with this phone. Blackberry and the Qwerty keyboard will win the battle at the end of the day.

I suspect it will be at least 3 years before any other phone will match Apples combination of form, function, and quality" It still is very far behind Mac OS X...it will be another 5 years until their next OS upgrade, which then might pull it ahead of tiger. By that time Apple will be on OS 12! The iPhone's core (OS X) and multi-touch is what makes it revolutionary and 5 years ahead of any other phone. If anything, I think Jobs was being modest! “Vista was at least 3 years behind Mac OS X.

The information on the internal communication document is nothing that has not previously been announced, if you've been closely watching the reports on this item.

As far as cell phone software goes its very proprietary and doesn't leave lots of room for advancement. The iPhone however, at least by the looks of it, might have some more flexibility in the way its used. I think by 5 years ahead they mean the software running underneath the phone and its abilities.
