You were saying ...

Apple 30%

And that's 30% in a market they had nothing at all in -- at the end of June 2007, whereas the others had been there prior to Apple's iPhone entry.

In addition (and in the same manner as some are saying now) -- back then there were pundits that said it was going nowhere and would be a flop. And instead it turned into one of the wildest successes in the market.

Fantastic isn't it!

Don't be ridiculous. The iPhone is a bust. If it had been successful, other manufacturers would have copied the look and feel of the iPhone and started ad campaigns attacking it.

Iphone

Palm Pre

Blackberry Storm

Android Droid

In all fairness, some of the others have slide out keyboards.

Um, so?

There we pundits that said Windows 7 would be nothing more than Vista part 2, and would be a flop. Since when do chimps with a blog become the source for conventional wisdom?

The point is that 70% dont use iPhones, and 2010 is going to be filled with more competition than ever. That chart shows only modest gains until Apple introduces a new model, that gets fawning saturation coverage and a jump in use as a result.

More competition and choices that arent locked into Apple’s closed system?!?!

Fantastic isn’t it!
