Fever Builds for iPhone

いよいよiPhoneが登場

Although the phones are expected to cost as much as $600 when they go on sale at Apple and AT&T stores later this month, each company has received more than a million inquiries about the product's availability. Apple disclosed in television commercials Sunday night that the phone would be released June 29.

eBayで830ドルの値が付いているそうな。1000万台を売るって？　ハンドセット市場でのシェアは1％になる。ネットワークが遅いし，iPodとの連携も今一歩，それに価格も高いのでそこまでいくのだろうか？

Most analysts believe that Apple will easily exceed its initial goal of selling 10 million phones by the end of next year.

Microsoftも実は頑張っている

During the first quarter of 2007 Microsoft痴 software was used on about 3.2 million personal digital assistants, or about 60 percent of the market, according to Gartner, the market research firm. Microsoft has come to dominate the market against competitors like Palm, Research In Motion and Symbian, but Apple痴 entry is likely to reset the most profitable high end of the handset market.
