Pretty amazing...

Considering it's tied to such a CRAPPY wireless provider..

Agreed.

iPhone is unmatched.

ATT sucks it bad.

It's all in the name for people who dont care about technical stuff and how much that %tage may be??

i predict Apple will continue its dominance in the cell phone market. They innovate...plain and simple. No other companies demonstrate that capability.

People _will_ pay a premium for a superior device. It is not just marketing. M$ Mobile OS is garbage and can not even compete today, let alone in the future. M$ does not innovate, they copy everything. They are a follower.

Look for Apple to continue to innovate and lead the way into the future. Watch for M$ to follow like they always have. People are a lot smarter nowadays and clearly recognize the innovation Apple is providing. Look at the growth of Apples market share in everything from Macs, to iPhone, to iPod. They have the best products, period.

Don't be fooled by the followers/cloners/imitators

We now return to your regularly scheduled program...

Oh! I am sorry I thought you were an ad?

Apple borrows like everyone else, the iphone borrowed existing technology and put it into one device.

You fail again.

You keep calling them innovators yet utterly fail to be able to come up with even one thing about the iPhone that had never been done before.

Can someone PLEASE change this moron's record... he just keeps going round and round.

You OBVIOUSLY have never bothered to use one or even open your closed mind. If you used one for e even a minute you wouldn't be spouting your blatant ignorance and looking like a complete idiot.. "laughs"

Dont like the truth huh?

I suppose we should all be driving Model-T Fords then. As far as I can tell, all the new cars still have 4 wheels, an engine, and a steering wheel.

Sigh

Don't laugh ---- the same technique is in use to convince (ignorant) people to support current policies.

--->"laughs"

Apple makes great products, but overall they are extremely overpriced (taking into account "cost" of being locked with AT&T, cost of having control-freaked DRM/upgrade-hacker-unfriendliness, etc). There's no way in hell any Apple phone will be in the top 5 list two years from today. Why? Because people go for VALUE, not for THE BEST. And of course for the classic reason that anything good from Apple gets immitated rather quickly. People don't care for "the original" or "the real thing". They WILL go in MASS numbers with the CHEAP IMMITATION as soon as the market gets flooded with "cheap" immitations for all cell networks.

In this business world, you cannot remain king for too long. It's also very likely for competitors to leap-frog the iPhone - taking its best features, handling the shortcomings, plus sprinkling some magic to give the phone their own unique feature-set and at the same time taking a swing at the game of "which features are really what customers want and willing to pay for, and how much". Every company can give you a list of 500 features the perfect cell phone "should have", but they cannot create a solution for a feasible price, hence "the picking" of what they think are the MOST CRUSIAL features. But anyway...

CLEARLY a Windows Mobile touch-screen smartphone, similar to Sprint HTC Touch (after several product refreshes) is gonna kick the asses of both the iPhone and the iPod in 5 year-time. You CANNOT even DREAM of Apple being able to compete with ANY flavor of Windows on a mobile device (interoperability with desktop Windows, MS Office, IE7-web-"standards"/Microsoft Deepfish, infinite third party software and hardware products (due to common Windows Mobile/desktop APIs) - even printers and voip equipment), OBVIOUSLY at cheaper, even subsidized prices by MS (similar to Xbox). iTunes is about the worst piece of sh-t software I've ever had the mispleasure to use. User friendliness is a f-- myth for MANY Apple creations... In Windows world? You don't like Windows Media Player? You got about 20 extremely high quality affordable replacements... And THAT'S why Apple will remain a fashion company rather than a leading-sale company... They WILL remain the leader in innovation, simply because Microsoft wants Apple to be the guinea pig of new concepts. This is the main reason for MS bailing them out a few years back when Apple was a few inches away from bankruptcy.

Oh yeah -- BetaNews ppl: can you please buy the entire report from Strategy Analytics and give us more details than what is given in the original press report? Like..what are the 1-10 places for example. People may wanna use that info to help decide which phone to get.

Nice sales pitch. You forget one little thing... MS cant do anything right and they never have. Thats a track record for the future? bwahahah!

Puh-lease... Back in 1995 everyone had an equal playing field. IBM had a super good chance with OS2 "Warp" (awesome OS BTW, at the time - more stable than 95), and of course Apple. But they both didn't play nice with the VAST AMOUNT of hardware and software players in the market and lost their pants (in the desktop OS market).

In 1995 there was no IE integrated into the OS... There was no Windows Media Player integrated into Online stores or competing with potential proprietary sound formats (Apple aac etc). All these cry-baby reasons were not there. MS came and gave THE PEOPLE what they want.

But yes,
Windows 1.0 = sh_t
Windows 2.0 = sh_t
Windows 3.0 = sh_t
Windows 3.1 = ahh now you're talking about a real good version that at the time catered to most business needs.
Windows 95 = nice GUI but not too stable. semi sh_t. However, Win95 was what started ALL the beautiful features of later OSs. I remember TUCOWS in its great days - anything you see today in any modern OS was avail back in 95-2000 via some talented programmer's shareware. Stardock etc.
Windows 98 = BSOD on pnp ..not only in MS presentations.. semi sh_t.
Windows XP = ahhh now you're talking about an extremely beloved OS even by techies like me who consider it "the perfect OS". You can dress it up to be better than any MacOS or later Windows (Vista). Extremely efficient and the best OS for our time. In 2-3 years Vista will take its place (or the next ver of Windows). Vista is too new with too many new concepts (for Windows world). Hence it breaks compatibility with hardware and software drastically. But it's also the most secure OS. You don't need "perfect" security to be happy with an OS, hence WinXP with a decent firewall and antivirus and windows updates upto-date is RIGHT NOW the best out there.

So I'll reiterate my point: Microsoft gives third party the best tools to build on their software. Sane-to-work-with APIs and development environment. This is why although IE7 is kinda crappy for 2008, it's still a very decent engine that you can dress up with Maxthon and get BETTER stability and FEATURES OUT OF THE BOX than any other browser existing right now - with the upmost important feature being: virtually 100% compatibility with the websites out there.

The same exact thing is about to happen for the mobile environment. You can say lotsa things about MS, but you cannot take away from their experience writing OSs and dealing with numerous 3rd party software AND hardware parties. Their Mobile OS will kick anyone's a** within a few short years - I'll bet you any amount of $ you want.

The fact they bought an iPhone tells me they are pretty stupid!

Hmmm, I suppose I'd better return that Ph.D. I earned many years ago!
(sigh)
--->The fact they bought an iPhone tells me they are pretty stupid!

See, there's your problem. Anybody will tell you that once you have your Ph.D. you become an instant moron, statistically speaking. I can only think of a handful of exceptions from my time at various colleges over the past decade.

Except that it's NOT my problem (grin)

I take it you mean the part about knowing more and more about less and less.

--->See, there's your problem.

The iPhone continues on its march to dominance. Everyone is scrambling to clone the innovative device as they do with all of Apple's products of late.

Hats off to Apple, one of the very few companies that innovates rather than just clone/steal others ideas.

*Pfft* Twat.
Everyone steals from everyone else. It's how software development works (and web development).

what was innovative about it?
a touch screen... nope
wifi... nope
safari web browser... maybe on a cellphone.
turn the web to widescreen.. ok you can have that

the fact that they put it all into a nice little package and marketted the s*** out of it is why it is successful, has nothing to do with device capabilites or there lack of.

So how come YOU didn't create it?

"Hats off to Apple, one of the very few companies that innovates rather than just clone/steal others ideas."

I'd like to know what they innovated? I'm sure Apple never stole idea's from other companies. /Sarcasm

exactly. nothing like it existed. Now all the anti-apple / M$ drones try to belittle it.

I don't belittle it. I just won't ever buy it. I hate apple, and that doesn't change with the iphone. I hate their marketing: and that doesn't change with the iphone. I hate their user's smugness. That doesn't change with the iphone.

What I do like is the ability to get a better Operating system, customize it the way I want, for free, and never have to answer to some corporate a****** company that produces RDF, and condescending advertisements. I'm sorry, but I would feel like a tool using anything mac. I'd feel brainwashed, weak, and just part of the crowd.

Actually about 15 years ago I had a VGA monitor that you could flip 90 degrees and it would display a whole page. It was monochrome, but it worked just fine.

Your comments are just as smug.

--->I hate their user's smugness.

Uhh, actually, my Sprint Mogul turns the browser on its side when I flip it. Mogul is another HTC model and was released before the iPhone in various incarnations.

Obviously you've never seen him rant against Microsoft...

You're absolutely right except that there are several Windows Mobile Smartphones that rotate *and* they even have keyboards you can use... if you want.

And you think that turning the browser on its side is what differentiates the iPhone from everything else?

if apple would have made the wise choice not to lock the phone to one carrier it probabaly would be #1 over all

"iPhone buyers seem to generally be well-educated"

I beg to differ. I don't think well-educated people would spend 20 hours in line to buy a $600 phone.

The best effect the iPhone has on the market is the fact that it did raise the bar quite high. Everybody is playing catch up which is a good thing. This means newer more innovating technologies and competitive prices for the rest of us.

Agreed.

Intelligent buyers are ones who realize that touch has been around on PDA's and Smartphones for years now, all Apple did was market it as the only option iPhone users have.

Giving you a Star Trek looking phone with a smudgy touch screen, now THAT'S innovative!

I won't express my opinion of the iPhone, because Maddox already had it perfectly covered.

http://www.thebestpagein...erse.net/c.cgi?u=iphone

First of all that was the first day it was on sale. second of all the price has drop several hundred dollars. Third, the information was taken from polls of customers who bought it.

The data might be a bit flawed, but overall you can't make the numbers up.

I do agree that apple once again entered a market with a new product that does a whole lot of things right and they deserve this success.

One thing you have to love about apple is that they don't dominate a market such as portable music/video players and then just sit there offering the same product year after year. They refresh the product line every year, new features, slimmer, longer battery life etc.

As for income leve and education level of iphone users, I seriously dont think dumb people even knows it exists, second of all dumb typically means poor unless you're filthy rich from a hand me down. Let's not forget iphone is more of a geek device that is very cool.

"First of all that was the first day it was on sale."

So your saying intelligent people camp out 20+ hours in front of a store to spend $600 on a phone? And the intellectually challenged go the next day to get the same product with out a line???

"second of all the price has drop several hundred dollars."

Well the intellectually superior people that bought that first generation iPhone did not know that Apple was going to screw early adopters with a price cut of $200 just 2 months later.

"Third, the information was taken from polls of customers who bought it."

I never said they didn't sell 1.3 million iPhones.

"longer battery life"

Are you joking? Apple has the worse track record in battery live and battery life time. That's the number one reason I never bought a iPod and that's definitely the number one reason I would never ever buy a iPhone. No user removable battery in a phone! This is the first cell phone in history that doesn't have a removable battery. And the battery is rated for only 300 charge cycles.

"second of all dumb typically means poor unless you're filthy rich from a hand me down"

Dude I'm definitely not poor and I'm not filthy rich from a hand me down. But I'm pretty well off and I don't own a iPhone. But I do own two airplanes a Lear 24 and a Piper Saratoga and for work I fly a Gulfstream 5 (that' a 40 million $ plane if you were wondering) So what category do I fall under???

My Tablet PC is Star Trek looking too, as are Ultra Mobile PC's and Windows Mobile PC's and Palms and Blackberries...

Ed,

Out of curiosity, was it AT&T's #4 or universal #4? Also, what were the top three?

On another note, I take issue with the comment, "iPhone buyers seem to generally be well-educated with a total household income of more than $100,000." Does this imply that only wealthy people are well-educated and intelligent? Perhaps they're just more likely to spend outrageous amounts of money on expensive services.

EDIT: On another note, I like the last paragraph. Most people are impressed with the device (because it looks cool) and the features (because they marketed "touch" despite the fact that touch has been around for ages in other Smartphones), so I definitely agree with that fact. Although I also agree with the reasons why people are disappointed with the reliability, battery life, and support.

The iPhone was AT&T's #1 phone and the #4 phone overall in the 3rd quarter.

You take issue with the result of the survey? All it means is that iPhone buyers tend to be both well-educated and have a high household income, according to the study.

Not the result of the survey, just the comment itself. It sounds to me like they're saying only wealthy people are intelligent and willing to buy the phone.

I'm sure they meant it the way you suggest, I just think it's amusing to read it worded the way it is.
