Just an observation. I happened to have been traveling back east
recently and was in NYC when the iPhone launched.
Then I was back home for a few weeks (Denver) and this last week I've
been in San Francisco and the Bay Area.
I just realized that in a month since it's launch, I have yet to actually
see anyone whip out an iPhone (except an employee when I visited an Apple
store.)
I'm obviously a cellphone geek and tend to notice people's phones.
Considering the success of the initial launch, you'd think I'd have seen
ONE in use by now! For example, in DC this June and SF this week, I was
surprised by the number of T-Mobile Sidekicks in use compared to at home
in Denver. Obviously Blackberries are ubiquitous in any downtown area,
but I haven't seen one single iPhone "on the streets" yet. When the RAZR
originally launched, for example, I tended to notice people using them,
probably just to show them off- I'd have expected people to be whipping
out their iPhones and check e-mail or something just to be noticed using
their new status symbol, but haven't seen one yet.
