Apple Iphone

The apple iPhone has been described as 'revolutionary' by critics for it's release. The apple iphone sports a host of features, creating the most complete media platform in the form of a personal hand held device do date. It has bridged the gap between mp3/personal audio player, mobile phone, and personal computer to create a fully functional product.
The reason the Ipone is 'so good' is that it has features that other models after an 'all in one' product
that actually work - e.g web pages are viewed as they appear on a personal computer; the GUI of the music platform is identical to that of an ipod/itunes, and the phone is fully functional and interface counter intuitive, thanks to the touch-screen and other such handy features. Other phones e.g the Nokia N95 have followed suit and produced an 'all in one' platform also.
A problem I can see for apple is their contract with 02, giving it a total monopoly of the market (UK) this will pose a great obstacle for most of the potential customers in the market for a 'phone more than anything, as many will already be established usuers of other networks. Will their gamble pay off? lets wait and see.
