It doesn't matter...

It really doesn't matter what most of us "in the know" think about the iPhone or Apple. It doesn't matter that we know there are other, less expensive phones out there that can do more tasks than the iPhone. It doesn't matter that we know that Apple overcharges (we think) for its products. It doesn't matter that we think of Apple fans as iSheep who will purchase any product Apple throws at them and says, "You will like it because we say it's cool." The only thing that matters to Apple is that the people who want this phone, yearly income notwithstanding, will buy it. Remember, in their own words, they're not targeting the "financially challenged."

I have never owned a Mac b/c I prefer PC's. I refuse to buy an iPod because I want more for my money (Creative Zen Vision: M, hello!). I have, however, always tipped my hat to Apple's marketing department. From Steve Jobs' keynote speeches to the "cool" solid-colored dancers on the iPod commercials to the cute ditty of the iPhone commercials, they know how to generate excitement about their products. We can only hope the companies we champion so much would do as much for their products. Besides, we don't know everything about the iPhone just yet. It just might have a surprise or two worthy of everyone saying "Now that is cool."
