More On The Fabulous iPhone ............The FT Do Agree

More On The Fabulous iPhone (I use Fabulous in the fabled sense here)

No need to take it from me, check out what these serious CI, CI -Os in SFO think. Link below.

In summary outside of rich fashion led geeks this is an enterprise level
product, targeted to the consumer, that's too much for the consumer and not wanted by the enterprise (maybe Enterprise applications with the Starship of the same name in time) .
Confused? You will be!

BTW I see the attraction, just not a broad market. My friend Pip in
Carmel has one for his SOHO business and loves it, but he's a Mac fan,
techy by training and a gadget man.

Another UK pal who owns a Mac Prepress software business has one, ditto.

I may buy one, but I'm not the mass market.

My daughter is a journalist, worse she writes for Desmond. The shame!

She needs her N95 for Internet access on the move, but HATES the
complexity and would much rather have a normal and smaller Moby. So I think you have a Smartphone, maybe iPhone, if you have to for mobile work, or are excessively sad and geeeky/know how to set tabs and format paragraphs in WORD, etc. so can exploit the featureset - Limited market.

The 2 in 1 phone and push email device is the only real justification I see for the enterprise, so sales guys may be the first significant population to migrate to iPhone - and will prefer whatever makes them most money......whatever works.

Maybe I'm wrong?
