The only thing that worries people with Android and market share is fractionalization, other than that the iPhone will continue to slip as Androids saturate the market. Now that doesn’t mean that iPhone won’t continue to grow in number of users or sales, just that the rate of growth of Android will continue to exceed iPhone.

"Poor Martin - he has market-share envy.
And its going to get worse in a few weeks when iOS5 comes out, followed by the next version of the iPhone."Yeah. That was pretty much what I got from that too. Ditto on the "meh".

you wonder how many of these "uncool" dads are paying the phone bills for these kids I think that's part of the problem there. College grads with no job, living at home, dad paying health insurance, car expenses, food, entertainment and cell phone. why shouldn't dad have the cool phone and the yout can have his old one.

I don't need to carry a computer on my belt. I just want to call out, take calls, store a few phone numbers and maybe figure out a restaurant tip. That's It!

My daughter is a sophomore at Georgetown. Everybody at Georgetown has an iPhone and most have iPads.
Georgetown is the standard for what's cool. :-)

What kind of parent would send his kid to Reed College? Apparently wealthy liberals. I had a nephew who attended one year on scholarship, then transferred because just living expenses were too high. He was liberal but poor. Since he got his degree he has worked for six months for the census and at a Starbucks. So much for a degree in political science.

It’s not a computer, it is a swiss army knife. I had no idea until I owned one, but it is the most useful tool I own.

Now that I have an iPad, I use my iPhone for... Guess what?... Phone calls and text messages! Seems too pricey for these limited uses.

I have an iPhone and an iPad that I carry everywhere with me. What I have found is I no longer need the iPhone. All I need is a simple phone so my daughter is turning my iPhone into an iPod for herself as soon as I get a different phone at the end of this month. My monthly charges will be much less too.

Me too. I’m using my wife’s old Motorola Razr. iPad plus Razr is good enough for me.

There is a problem when your product is owned by everyone — and their grandparents.
