The Iphone came in and said, "we can make your life even more mainstream and easier." Instead of carrying around a phone and your ipod, you now have both in one hand. Instead of buying the Nintendo DX, we will give you enough applications that you don't really need that either. When you combine just how much you save by buying an Iphone, to combine all these other devices, it can be stunning. My contract is done in January and I am up in the air on whether to stay with Sprint and get the Blackberry Tour and pay lower phone plans or go to AT&T with their higher rate plans but have a great multiuse item to go with it. If Apple wouldn't have exclusively put themselves in one cell carrier market, I think they would have quadrupled their sales easily. AT&T still have a lot of function issues with their phone system that concerns me.

Before the iPhone, you carried your cell phone and iPod. Now, you have one thing. Windows-based phones do not support m4a formatted music, so if you download all your music from the iTunes Store you aren't able to listen to that on your phone, not to mention having to buy a seperate media card to put into a Windows-based phone just to have the space to listen to your music. Another thing would be that too many of the cell phones in general don't have a 3.5mm plug for the headphones, you have to buy a seperate adapter. The iPhone has a lot of things to offer that the competition hasn't even come close to replicating. I think that one thing that the iPhone has done is seemlessly made two machines into one.
