Will Apple's Second Generation iPhone Buck the Trend?

It ain't "no telephone" .... D'oh.

It is a HANDHELD computer, browser, game machine, GPS unit, MP3 player, Movie Player, PDA...

Comparing this to a TELEPHONE is like saying the early desktop computers were GREAT adding machines, since VISICALC was the first viable application.

Come on guys, STOP thinking like you dads dad, and OPEN UP here, God gave you BRAINS for using, not for comparing RED THIS TO BROWN THAT's.

AT&T Subsidy of Apple's iPhone Would Have Dramatic Effect - Bernstein

AGAIN.

Everyone looks at the "nits" counting this segment, vs that segment.

It is *THE SYNERGISTIC SYSTEM©™" that makes this puppy so adorable. Forget this or that, it is the "BORG EFFECT©™" at work here, everything is ASSIMULATED, added to the total, the stores feed the product, the iPhone feeds the system, the iPod feeds the system, the OX feeds the system, and EVERYTHING works, works on the first try, works together, and the INTERFACE to everything is so close, that you learn ONE, you have basically learned them all.

I have been a TECH NUT for 30years now, and have seen them all come and go, but I have NEVER EVER seen RABID slavish adoring passionate opinionated FANBOYS and GALS as deeply in love with, and committed TO the APPLEBORG©™ intake system. I mean, what other company has people standing in LINE all night long to buy whatever new product is coming out? Who gets the amount of pre-release HYPE for anything and everything that AAPL does, sure every now and then, a "hottie" gets legs, that is the EXCEPTION but for this crowd, they follow these things like "Parrotheads" with Jimmie Buffet tours.

This is like a snowball rolling down a hill now, every few feet it rolls, it gathers up more mass, more momentum, and becomes more and more formidable.

Just about the only thing that could put the Kabosh on this now, is the early demise of one skinny turtlenecked aging geek.
