Here's What Will Happen To Apple's Rivals

New iPhone is not "half-as-expensive" in the US, since AT&T simply increased the monthly subscription (which is required) by $10, more than offsetting the up front outlay.

Also, "twice-as-fast" is Apple marketing hype that only applies to use of the iPhone for browsing/downloading in areas that have 3G service available. In the US, much of the country will only have EDGE for a long time. The processor in the new iPhone is exactly the same as the original so for many, the iPhone will not see any speed improvements.
