The iPhone is near its ceiling. It is too closed and Apple’s control-freakish behavior on the app side will prevent much more market penetration. The other thing is that there are strong competitors like Google, RIM and Nokia, something Microsoft never had. I don’t include Palm at this time, although they could regain some market share with the Pre.

Full disclosure: I have a Palm Centro, and despise BlackBerrys.

You were saying ...

Well..., I've heard the predictions from even before it was even sold. It was going nowhere, it would only have a few users, it would flop, and so on and so forth.

But, what has happened is that it was a stupendous success and blew everyone away with how successful it was -- and -- continues to be....

So..., sorry, this sounds sorta like those same kinds of predictions I've heard all along... LOL...
