Article shortly after introduction of Apple iPhone

Robert Syputa, Partner, Senior Analyst, Maravedis, Inc.

The Apple iPhone has entered the market with more fanfare than any product introduction in recent memory. This speculation has fueled by Apple’s success with the iPod, a music device that re-wrote the formula for success when it entered an already competitive market for portable MP3 players. The unique ‘it factor’ that Apple brings to the party is an intuitive but painstakingly designed approach to man-machine interface development that started with the first Macintosh PC and continues to breath fresh life into the company.

IPhone enters the market for cellphones and PDA devices at a point of maturity that many might have thought that only incremental improvements were possible. Underlying this introduction are deep rooted changes in the way wireless will evolve and how service providers will operate. What raises eyebrows most is not a new take on PDA cellphones but a new take on the business methods it represents… a disruptive change from business as usual for cellular network giants and fulcrum entry point for new operators.
