2009 Will Be a Painful Year for Mobile Device Vendors [View article]
Apple will own the mobile market by 2011. There is no real weakness in the iPod market, that is a fantasy promoted by some on wall street. Sales are not constant, neither is the economy, but iPod has never had any serious competition whatsoever.
iPhone is part of the iPod market. It never fails, when I am out and several people have their phones out that the iPhone users can find or do just about anything in seconds and the others are fumbling around, with no applications market at all, and if that were not bad enough, everyone starts talking about how they want to get rid of the blackberry or whatever and get the iPhone.
If WallMart starts selling iPhone at $99, it's all over for any other smart phone vendor, period.
I think the windoze monopoly comes next for Apple after that. As if it were not already eroding. It's already to the point that a vendor simply can't ignore Mac users, as they used to do quite routinely.
