It's not going to matter until they open the phones up for third party applications just like every other phone out there.
If you need to go through some laborious process or be a 'preferred' Apple provider or something like that then the phones will stagnate and become as niche as a Mac PC. Tell me something. While apple sells a million phones, is it that people aren't also purchasing OTHER phones? How many of those other phones will be bought in total? 10 million? 20 million? 50 million? People are going to stop buying Sony Ericsson, HTC, Nokia or Palm phones while apple sells one (1) million phones?
