MacNewsWorld Article

We could have reached the same conclusions as the article did, by simply reading the TC threads on the iPhone. "The iPhone will make a difference but who knows what the impact will be. <Insert manufacturer here> is confident it will not be affected by the iPhone. The iPhone isn't for everyone. Steve Jobs is God."

I just made up that last one. Everyone knows Eric Clapton is God.

There were some interesting tidbits and stats that I liked.

Relatively balanced article. As they said, it will all depend on Apple marketing, and they are pretty good at that. They are however taking on giants like Nokia, who distributes 70 million of those 120 million smartphones. They are much more likely to grow the market into people who want a slick phone, not a smartphone. Of course this is what Palm said of the Q, and it did not quite work out that way, with Palm in the end losing market share to Moto.

That's because it was typical Palm underestimating the competition.
