It's a great little phone, no doubt. The iPhone did achieved this with almost no publicity and little advertising. Isn't that what we all know we can do?

Sorry, but May was not a good month for me. People want to be the next big thing, but they don't want to be the next big thing.

Wow, iPhone has 8% of U.S. SmartPhone sales, but accounts for 65% of HTML traffic from SmartPhones.

I got a new iPhone 3GS a few days ago. I was using a windows mobile phone.
This is a very impressive device. The speed and clarity of the apps are phenomenal. Market share will continue to increase. The GPS and Google maps work flawlessly together.
Safari works well, the the real market in in the specialized apps.

Find someone that has one and take it for a drive. You need to understand why it's getting so much market share.
