The Apple iPhone is one of the biggest sensations to hit the tech market in a long time.   Even with its glitches and high price tag, it’s selling faster than anyone expected.  How does the iPhone hold up to other smart phones?  Everyone may have a different answer, but most will agree that it holds its own. 

The camera is not the best on the market, but Steve Jobs has been quoted as saying that its not designed for that purpose and the user is better off getting a “real camera”. 

The current evolution of iPhone does not have a removable battery, which can become a security issue.  There is no voice dial feature and a lack of video.  But with the iPhone shacking the industry and teaching consumers a new way of seeing and doing the cell phone, it is definitely having an effect.

The iPhone is great for Web 2.0 functions.  It is extremely user friendly - offering convenient touch screen options for the address book and other features.  Even more exciting is that Apple is already in the process of making a new evolution of iPhone that will offer more, bigger, and better.

Apple may have been looking for a niche market share with the introduction of the iPhone, but they found consumers that were eager for something different and willing to pay the price.
