> How long do you think until it gets there.. another month or 2? Gets where? Past Linux? Certainly longer than a month or two. I would expect most people that really wanted an iPhone already bought one. Future growth will certainly be at a slower pace.
> How long has windows ce been around... and yet in a few short months > the iphone has obliterated it in browser shares. Huh? No one uses CE devices anymore (well, virtually no one, seems there are at least some holdouts). That link does not seem to show all mobile platforms (Palm OS being conspicuously absent for instance) and I wouldn't know whether Windows ME is really the "ME" OS or is the Windows Mobile Edition that most PPC devices these days run. But I find it pretty unlikely that there are more iPhones in use than PPC devices. >Well it gets 3g next year and personally i dont think it's as big a deal as >most >people make it out to be since most people are usually within wifi >distance. I don't know about "most people" always being near wifi...but this certainly has had a big impact on its sales overseas which have been very poor so far (compared to the US). Just as big a deal is that it doesn't yet (to my knowledge) support things like Direct Push for Exchange, very important to business users, a very large market for smartphones. > Say if there have been 2 million iphones sold > already and their is that kind of share, imagine what will happen > after xmas when another million or 2 iphones sell and 5-10 million > ipod touches. You're dreaming if you think Apple is going to sell as many iphones over Christmas as they have all year. People do not tend to buy high-end, expensive phones with required data plans for gifts. Particularly when we already are hearing about the next version having improved features. Anyway, they would have to hit these numbers (12 million sold...which seem pretty high to me for such expensive devices, in a market that is already fairly saturated) in order to catch up to the Linux market share number (of course, who knows how accurate these are anyway). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get the answers you are looking for on the ColdFusion Labs Forum direct from active programmers and developers. http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/categories.cfm?forumid-72&catid=648 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:247805 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
