Somehow I got forwarded this blog post.
Okay, it's a smartphone but with none of the features that make the other smartphones popular with business road warrior types. And frankly, those are the only people who really want smart phones anyway.This is the exact same premise that Steve Ballmer used when speaking about the iPhone (I blogged about it here). What these "business" oriented people do not get is that the iPhone isn't for business people. What a thought! It's a smartphone built for consumers, maybe it really shouldn't be considered a smartphone. The whole premise behind the iPhone is to take the features that a consumer would want in a smartphone (browser/address book), and apply them to a phone that they could use. Apple knows how to make products for consumers, remember the "normal" consumer is that lowest common denominator (LCD). So those corporate business type people are so wound up in that perspective have tunnel vision and they forget about consumer grade products. So "those" types completely forget about the rest of the demographic or the LCD. And that's why in the cell phone market the bar is low, and Apple will come in sweep the market, and set the bar.
