wait, you ask for comments from “MacDailyNews” and expect what? what it has been said is classical Fruit fanboy moronity at its rafinated variant – it has been taught for years to sing praises for anything containing The Fruit, and barking on anything hostile to that. I believe we are closer to beginning of Fruit end, it just takes a little bit of time. Remember Fruit computers were sold sometimes ago pretty well for short period, only to come into almost oblivion for ages. This time it will be in portable devices

All phones did not turn into RAZRs when it was the most popular device.

All phones will not turn into iPhones, either.

Next year there’ll be something else to ooh and ahh over. Perhaps projector phones or simulated 3D images. The wonderful thing about history, is that it repeats so often!

Macdailynews commentary as source !?!

Heh, that site makes the most rabid fanbois of the tubes known as the internets seem like reasonable and intelligent.

Take every Playstation+Xbox+Ericsson+Nokia+all other Mac-fans of the planet and put them together. The combined idiocy would still be under 10% of Macdailynews.com.

…almost every manufacture has aleast attempted a “iphone killer” device. The iPhone has done terrible so far when it comes to sales, but the impact it has had on the mobile market is historic!

Markus here has a point. Although the iphone sucks (my own opinion not intended to inrage anyone) it has changed the everyone’s out look on the mobile world. Ever sence the launch

Although the iPhone is a niche product and has sold very poor it did change the whole mobile market. Every manufacturer tries to bringt out its own “iPhone”. Isn’t that interesting?

I think Kallasvuo is right.. iPhone has sold only very little when compared to “normal” phones. But it’s not always the number that counts but the overall impression…

I have to admit that Nokia makes fantastic phones but it can’t do what Apple does best – making an average product wanted and admired. Also, Nokia has always been a bit late with new trends like clamshells and now with touchscreens. But Nokia is a (very) big player so I’m sure it’s going to catch up real fast.

Seems like Will is bashing every even the smallest bit of iPhone criticism in a separate blog entry… I’d prefer bit more objective views.
