zybch - I agree with you on one point, but at some point, they are just surviving. If all cell phone networks get replaced by VoIP and wireless internetS, that's all well and good in the city but the highway and remote areas will leave you stranded. And because the "greedy" cell companies don't have towers any more, you can't use your phone. There are two sides to the coin.

None of this matters. Apple has a revolutionary product. Very well thought out. They did their homework. It doesn't matter if they call it is called the apple phone or the zune phone it will succeed. It's the old adage, if you build a better mousetrap people will buy it. Apple has clearly built a better mousetrap. They have patented the interface. Sure the version of the iphone that was shown at macworld is expensive, however the interface and technology will appear in less expensive ipods and iphones and who knows what else. The Cisco issue matters little, if at all. No dig.
