iPhone Cannibalizes many Electronic Companies
Pogue’s recent article of the app store made me realize just how BIG the iPhone is from an electronic industry point of view. The iPhone won’t just knock of GPS companies, it will consume companies that sell house-wide remote controllers (Apple’s Remote app makes all such devices obsolete practically). It’s easy to foresee that the iPhone will cannibalize many other related electronic devices because of consolidation sake: Why spend money and have the extra clutter of an additional electronic device (like a GPS or a house-wide remote) when you can just utilize your PHONE to to acquire those features! Apple has intuitive, potent simplicity combined with consolidation of numerous electronic industries all plugged into its single iPhone device. Utter brilliance. What also has become apparent is how the iPhone truly will become the “third” tier of apple (along with Mac and iTunes).
Indeed, the iPhone has become the new (and quite “real”) tricorder. 
The “Next Generation”
doesn’t seem that far off with the iPhone.
doesn’t seem that far off with the iPhone.
And who knows, iPhone 3.0 could approach “Transmogrifier” capacity!
Okay, that maybe a bit extreme. And I’m sure Calivin would already have a patent for such an invention, but in all seriousness, the iPhone seriously has evolved into the revolutionary “killer” electronic device.
