iPhone: Apple Making All the Wrong Moves

The article's analysis is flawed, but I think it's a mistake to assume no product will have "anywhere NEAR the capabilities" in the next three years. A product like the iPhone wasn't imaginable three years ago, so who knows what will come out between now and 2010. If you are leaning more towards the user-interaction side, rather than pure technological capability, then it's a different story. If, upon hitting the market, it gains the same widespread acceptance and image as the iPod, then I think you can make a call like that. This is very possible, as it seems the image side of that equation is nailed down, but I think its wrong on both ends to say "the iPhone will flop/others will have a killer [which is essentially saying it will be a giant, haha]" or "there will be no challengers."
