Apple has so much momentum and inertia now, it will be impossible to unseat them for 5-7, perhaps 10 years. Even in the likely event that Steve Jobs steps down! I used the BlackBerry for several years, and while it is a nice phone the iPhone represents a technological advance over the BlackBerry platform that's on par with the change from DOS-based PCs to the introduction of the first Macintosh in 1984. It's that significant. I am sure Palm and Android and BlackBerry and Windows Mobile will continue to have their niches, but at this point iPhone is the *dominant* consumer smartphone, and is making inroads into their markets as well.

I used the BlackBerry for several years, and while it is a nice phone the iPhone represents a technological advance over the BlackBerry platform that’s on par with the change from DOS-based PCs to the introduction of the first Macintosh in 1984. It’s that significant.

I am sure Palm and Android and BlackBerry and Windows Mobile will continue to have their niches, but at this point iPhone is the *dominant* consumer smartphone, and is making inroads into their markets as well.

We are going to see even more high-end smartphones flood the market this year and next. In fact, the US smart-phone market grew by over 68% last year and it projected to be the single biggest consumer growth market in the near future. You are going to see a flood of new devices, technologies and gadgets. Let's see if the big mobile OS providers (e.g., windows mobile, android, apple) can keep up with the growing user request list of features.
