Are you talking about the Apple iPhone? If so, you must be from
a different planet or living in a cave. The iPhone has been a
massive success. They had a million units sold in the first month.
That is amazing numbers for a first of a kind product from a company
that never sold a single cell phone before the iPhone.

Future iPhones will have more horsepower, more features, and a
developers API. Remember, this is the first cell phone that Apple
has put on the market. The Edsel, in contrast, came 50 years after
Ford started selling cars. It was not a first time effort. Ford
should have known better. Apple is just getting started.
