correct George... the iPhone nano or iPhone mini is just around the
corner and it's going to crush many a cell phone company like a bug. The
cell industry is incredibly weak in comparison to the computer industry.
They haven't had any serious competition in decades.

The iPhone could take 10-15% of the revenue market in the first year,
10-15% of the unit volume in year 2, it just depends on how fast Apple
wants to crush cell companies.

Should be fun to watch.
