The iPhone phenomenon is clearly amazing. The design is sexy, the marketing slick and the product so cool. The screen is truly big enough to share a high res photo with a friend in Starbucks, or listening to your personal music mix while waiting. Everything else is un-necessary to carry around. It is difficult to ask for more in one device to carry around - anywhere in the world.That is why it is probably not difficult to imagine success of shipping 10 million iPhones by end of 2008 to the 70 countries that Mr Jobs plans to introduce in. That is probably only the beginning. What has got the start-up community in a frenzy again is allowing application developers to make money on iPhone too. 5,200 developers attended Apple's Developer Conference in June to here the introduction of iPhone 3G and already 250,000 iPhone SDK have been downloaded. Piper Jaffray's analyst Gene Munster predicts a US$1 billion+ eco-system developed by the end of 2009. What a great strategy! iPhone economy, eco-system, whatever you want to call it, with developers around the world, the iPhone will stand to challenge handphone manufacturers around the world. Join iPhone or be history!
