rubbish. people arent going to give up their itunes playlists and easy-
as-pie syncing, just to use their latest random cellphone's media
player. it makes far more sense to stick to what ya know, and keep
using your managed itunes system.
cell phone makers have shown they arent very good at making media
players that people care about. and certainly never one people would
abandon itunes in favor of. why learn a whole new system when you have
one that works very well?

but they do. see ipod sales. its about the UI, the syncing, and the
style. ipod != "random media player"

the track record is in apples favor, here. see Mac, and iPod. they
would appear to know how to "do" design. popular design. pay-a-premium
design (tho now of course, due to immense popularity & mass
production, ipods are down to trinket cost).

....which has historically been talking. but for people looking to
consolidate devices, which is who i believe the iphone is marketed to,
then "what they bought it for" becomes talking, media, internet.

pfft. media players & cameras are bundled trinkets in today's
cellphones. the majority of everyday phones w/ them are not purchased
due to their inclusion; these phones were bought (or promo-ed) for
talking. not so w/ iPhone.
