[...] Apple debuted it’s iPhone a couple of weeks ago and the initial thought of many analysts was that it would change the face the smartphone industry the day it ships. Stocks of RIM and Palm dropped significantly shortly after Steve Jobs keynote at Mac World and the iPhone, although won’t be released until June, is extravagantly expensive, and is a first stab at a completely new type of mobile device, is tops on the new toy lists of many a gadget junky.

[...] Cisco sued Apple in federal court today claiming that the iPhone violates it’s trademark. I am going to go out on a limb and say that seeing how Linksys, a company owned by Cisco, released their version of the iPhone just a few weeks ago, Cisco definitely has a leg to stand on. “Cisco entered into negotiations with Apple in good faith after Apple repeatedly asked permission to use Cisco’s iPhone name,” said Mark Chandler, Cisco senior vice president and general counsel, in a statement. “There is no doubt that Apple’s new phone is very exciting, but they should not be using our trademark without our permission.” [...]

the Blackberry and iphone are targeted at different markets. period. The blackberry was targeted, and has been successful, in giving those working professionals, who have not yet used blackberrys, to start because of the ease of use of the pearl. The iphone however, i believe, is targeted at the younger demo of 18-35 year olds. These are the people who have an ipod, a cell phone and use email for personal more so than business. Every colleage kid in America is going to have this thing. That is a seperate market from RIM which relies on the enterprise email. On the apple site, you can see that the iphone is designed more for web based email such as Yahoo, gmail, hotmail. Not eneterprise activation.

Different markets, pearl is safe …. for now. But bottom line is that the iphone is going to change the cell phone market and outsell even the ipod (if they allow more wireless providers than just cingular).

I agree 100 percent with Chase.. the iPhone was CLEARLY not meant for the business market.. I mean, just look at the thing.. not to imply that aesthetically beautiful gadgets cant be business oriented, but this thing is like a glowing ipod.. hah…

This is clearly geared at the crowed infatuated with the ipods, and where their gadgets are a fashion statement. 500? 600? it is pricey, and will hurt the teens that are begging their parents for one, but for the 25-35 demographic that can make their own monetary decisions, if style matters to them, and the “celebs” are seen using them, it will no doubt be a huge seller.
