I cant see too many spending $5/600 and locking themselves
into a 2 year contract and a XXXXed EDGE network for that.

Specially when those that do care about a decent media
player UI will already have an ipod or a properly implemented
phone with integraged media player like a Nokia.

You dont need that with a properly implemented
media player, it appears as a drive on the computer.

Thats always been one major downside with the ipod,
it needs its own rather XXXXed crapware to load it and
even that cant copy stuff from one ipod to another either.

So you are unlikely to piss $5/600+ and a 2 year
$50/90 per month against the wall on an iphone now.

Wrong. The Nokia N series has even more like built in GPS too.

And plenty have a much better camera than the iphone,
and a removable battery, and a sim and memory cards too.

Pity he was the one mindlessly claiming the iphone have as much effect
on the market as the ipod did, in the quoting you carefully deleted.
