What’s for sure is that the iPhone has changed the mobile landscape for good and there’s no going back for users and vendors alike. What Apple has done is to create a lifestyle choice out of a technology and it’s heading for a cultural status similar to that of the iPod. If what’s supposed to happen happens and Apple releases a $99 iPhone we’re going to see a fresh wave of users who’ve been put off by the inital price of previous generations. And if O2’s exclusivity contract comes to an end we’re going to see some quite interesting things happening in mobile stores across the UK very very soon.
