iPhone: Who Stands To Gain and Lose?

I concur...its a smart move by APPLE...But a least suprising thing...becuz..The next obvious product from the apple, sepculated to be a combo of phone,pda and ipod.

i am not sure if this thing will take off ,as the cost of iphone which is listed to retail @$499..seems little pricey ..especially for the cosumers of ipod like devices, who are mostly students..but, there could be a relief if cingular starts subsidising iphone by apple..

SECONDLY,For all these electronic devices, battery is biggest bottleneck...now, that its does so many things, i don't know how it will effect performance and may play huge role to make it a huge success, atleast in the begining...offcourse, Battery technology is getting advanced by the day.

Cingular, seems like is a major winner in all this...if not anything, atleast in a advertising angle, with apple iphone buzz,people want to checkout and will always stop by at the cingular store before getting a new cellphone/plan.
