The Iphone, What a overhyped , overprice piece of electronics. Over have not seen a single business person, chief level that carrys this phony phone. Its for kids who want to listen to music. At $599 AAPLEs was simple stealing the consumers money. At $ 399 they are just making an crazy profit.
at $ 149 it would be price fairly. Anything over that price is just nuts.

stan,

Respectfully speaking, your an idiot. The blackberry was slow to be adopted by execs as well - and we know what position they have now.

I *do* know CEO's that have the iPhone and it's only a matter of time before they are adopted right along side the blackberry.
