77 Percent Will Pass on iPhone
Apple's iPhone has been generating huge amounts of hype and coverage since its announcement, and the buzz has only grown as we approach the highly anticipated June release date. But, if the results of a recent study are any indication, that buzzing is largely falling on deaf ears.
The Markitecture study shows that, of 1,300 people polled, an impressive 77 percent had heard of the iPhone but 66 percent had absolutely no interest in buying one, most scared off by the $499 to $599 price tags. Only six percent of those polled were genuinely interested, a seemingly small number. However, if you take the liberty of expanding that figure over the 233 million cell phone users in the U.S., six percent could add up to an awful lot of iPhones (14 million or so) and another huge windfall for Apple.

onelogic: There are rumors that AT&T will subsidize the phone down to that amount, but we're not holding our breaths.

The fact is that any phone using a Mac OS is going to appeal to every Mac user out there. Let's not forget it's the next generation of IPOD as well as the first to offer a wide format...But I could be wrong. Maybe nobody buys those thing's, I'm not a market analyst so I couldn't tell you. But there is one thing I do know, Ill be buying an iphone the second they drop in price!

Iphone is cool.. but it's only a phone.. I found it funny how people react to this iphone...
it would have been good if it's unlock so you can use it to any carrier you prefer.. but sorry i am not an iphone fan.. I can buy it so wont get bored when I watch my son play.. but it's not 3g compatible...nor video phone ready..which i believe the next trend in phones..
Iphone fanatic out there should read the terms and conditions of at&t.. cause if they will find it out .. i bet they would have read it first before gettign a contract with at&t..can't imagine you will get charges for making outgoing calls and if the recipient of the calls won't answer you will get charges thru it.. read at&t terms and condition with iphone users..
