iPhone Versus the Rest: More Evidence Smartphone Makers Are in Trouble

I think there will be a exodus from other manufacturers. I also do not think it will be small. The scope of the exodus, however, cannot be measured until probably after the iPhone has been out a year. This is because many people will wait out their current contracts.

People forget Apple has quite a legion of loyal users. These people are likely using other carriers now. They have been calling for an Apple phone for years. They will ditch their current phones. Moreover, they by merely using the phone in public will sell it to the masses.

Finally, it is silly to think Apple will not come out with other cheaper models as soon as the sales of the initial iPhone start to dwindle. That is how Apple did it for the iPod.
