Let's not forget that important facet of the iPhone saga.
And the early acceptance wasn't extremely spectacular either.
But yet, look at it now. Yes, the iPhone phonominum is due to Jobs Power, Apple Appeal, etc.etc, but let's not discredit the fact that the device is very easy to operate and it is....."cool." For the things that it does do, it simply works very well. (Inadequacies are ignored and/or put up with....and face it, we NIT users are accustomed to doing that also.)
At least now, the N900 has greatly improved those Internet Tablet UI issues. Many of us, in the niche market cocoon, will love it.
