the price keeps me out of it $40 – $60 for a data plan depending on the network? No thank you. I do not make enough money to afford that.

Isn't it misleading just to say blindly that expected users to buy palm and iphones are growing without pointing out those two actually have brand new products on the market?? Of course it would jump…

Thanks. Which means that the 6.34% (44X14.4) who plan to buy an iPhone in these next 3 months is even higher than last year when only 5.88% (56×10.5) had such plans.

Just as it did with home broadband, which went from 7 to 14% between Apr 2001 to March 2003, the puck is slowly but surely moving to where Apple expects it to be (mobile broadband computing as dominant).

Whats the fuzz for these analysts, Dont they know nokia and sony ericsson has a mms, video and forward feature for the messages. And not to mention longer battery life, Where you guys just born last week? Even palm is raving a multiple apps being open at the same time, does windows ce has that before? I bet when you can open multiple apple apps the anal-lists will soup up the sales for the iphone. Even palm is being hype because it has no free office apps? Why would I buy these phones. I don't need a game console, I need a phone!!!

Does the bottom chart (Exhibit 5) show the percentage of the 14.4% who are planning to buy a smartphone in the next 90 days? In other words, does 44% of the 14.4% plan to buy iPhone in this survey? And 37% of the 11.2% planned to buy BB in the Mar 2009 survery? Is that the correct way to read these charts?

ex ped: Yes, 44% of the 14.4% who plan to buy a Smartphone in the next 90 days are planning to buy an iPhone.

"Smartphone demand accelerating"

And it would even more with cheaper monthly costs.

I am sorry but iPhone is not for me until then.
