Default NEWS: One in Three Americans Wants an iPhone

<http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20070715/tc_pcworld/134594>

Apple's iPhone could emerge as the most successful product
introduction of the 21st century, new research suggests.

Lightspeed Research surveyed 39,000 people on its U.S. online panel
in the days following the launch of the device on June 29-- and the
research findings are staggering.

Thirty-two percent of those surveyed who do not currently own an
iPhone stated that they do intend to purchase one, with 8 percent
planning to purchase in the next three months and 22 percent planning
to purchase "some time in the future" the researchers said.

Respondents ages 44 and under plan to purchase at a rate higher than
those ages 45 and over. Forty percent of respondents ages 18 to 24
said they are planning to purchase an iPhone some time in the future,
followed closely by 25 to 34 year olds (36 percent) and 35 to 44 year
olds (33 percent).

Apple has achieved notoriety for the device. Nearly 90 percent of
respondents have heard of the device.

Therefore by that same calculation, two out of three Americans do NOT want
one (myself included in that equation).

I'm more than happy with my PocketPC phone, it does exactly what I want...
and batteries are very easily obtainable.

I was at the Apple store this Saturday in Towson, Maryland looking at
laptops, and there were a bunch of people in there buying iPhones. They
are selling. I almost gave in and bought one myself. I am beginning to
think resistance is futile.

Perhaps if he worded it, "Two out of three Americans don't give a flying
rat's ass about the iPhone".

Survey is suspect and rife with sampling errors. Noce try, though.

The iPhone is so wonderfully user friendly that even John Navas could learn
how to use one.

I've tried the iPhone, and some slick interface features
notwithstanding, I find my RAZR V3xx quite a bit more productive.
