Are Global Smartphone Sales Poised For Takeoff?

I agree w/ much in the article, but really, what would you say if you analyzed the prospects of the iPhone?

My view is the iPhone is in a category of 1 today. If the other high end mobiles are 'smartphones' then I'd call the iPhone a mobile phone platform with the potential to dominate as Windows 95 did in its heyday. We'd have to call it a 'Worldphone' or some other moniker.

Seriously, with 95% of all mobile internet traffic originating from the newly introduced iPhone, what might explain that? And what explains 3500 apps in 45 days? 100,000,000 downloaded apps?

Dean, Please do an article on the differences you note between an iPhone and a smartphone. I think it would be very informative.
