This is why the iPhone will do well.
No other phone manufacturer has been able to do an intuitive, easy to
use multi-use phone. Not one.

I recall both the Blackberry and Treo 600 both being considered
"revolutionary" in their day as well.
Again, Apple might have a winner, but ONLY because of usability- there is
nothing "new" here.
For those of us who've already traveled the learning curve, our $99-199
Smartphones and Blackberries already do all the iPhone seems to do, and
does many of them better. But that's ok- the iPhone is for a different
market. One, apparently, I'm not part of!
I just find all of the hype fascinating- no product, regardless of how
well designed, could measure up to people's (now unrealistic) expectations.
The iPhone will have to walk on water to live up to the hype.
