Paul has an op-ed in the WSJ today that explains why: people hate their celphones and hate their carriers. He’s right, of course. It’s a point I’ve made here repeatedly about mono/oligopo-lists, a problem more pressing here in Canada than the US: if you treat your customers like crap, they will never forget, and a day will come when, freed of the ties that bind them to you, they will pay almost any price, climb any mountain, and so on, to be rid of you.

I think that the iPhone can be aimed at many different ages. It can be for a young child to have as a gadget and to play on, use it as a game player and play other people through Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It also can be a great business gadget. There are many things and functions that the iPhone has to suit people trying to use it for work. You can send emails through the iPhone and this will come in handy when communicating with other clients. Also the most important thing is that you can text and call people. A usual businessman needs to make several calls a day and send a few daily text messages. Moreover the multi touch surface the iPhone provides can sometimes help if you are in a rush as you just tap your finger to do something.
