I agree with your comments about the fact that Apple products are not feature packed like many others and still cost a fortune .. but one has to give it to them for making really usable products that one would feel proud to own. The "Crackberry" addicts (business users), who can afford it might not buy the iPhone for themselves .. but my guess is that it might end up becoming this years favorite christmas gift for their teenage kids. Smart phones will become the next logical upgrade for most people in an increasingly "connected" society and once this segment hits the 14-25 age group (ofcourse i'm talking about rich kids) Apple's "trendy" iPhone would stand a muuuch better chance than RIMM's "corporate-looking" Blackberry. With 250 million smartphones sold each year world wide, Apple needs to get hold of just 10% market share to add a Billion dollars to its bottom line. Hey Mudit,

Nice to see you blogging. About the iPhone....well, I really hope it lives up to the hype. The thing with Apple products are that they can skimp on features and compensate with great design and demand a high price and still find millions interested to buy their stuff. The iPhone offers much lesser features than say a BlackBerry at a much higher price, but I'm sure it can create a cult like following of believers who will flock to the stores to get their hands on this. Personally, I'm not a fan of anything with touch screens. As far a s AAPL stock is concerned, I would say it might spike after the launch, but will come down later since the bulk of business users which are a major chunk of the pie for $300+ phone buyers, are overwhelmingly not interested in the iPhone according to a survey by Cnet.
