Competition among current phone makers and phone companies
has been strong for some time. The iphone promises through
a combination of features, design, and marketing to fundamentally
change the cell phone landscape. The parallels to Apple's entrance
into the mobile music market are striking. And their current success
with the ipod gives them leverage in this new market. They might
dominate this new market. But in any case, it seems likely that
the cell phone business will be changed.
