Before iphones got big, I used to regularly see iphone owners mocking large android phones, saying that large phones are inconvenient, unnecessary, uncomfortable, etc.

Perhaps those people were serious, and now feel like they've been left out in the cold.

You are describing me... So I'm there waiting for the iPhone mini/nano.

I find it somewhat fascinating that Apple has chosen to reproduce the mistakes of the Mac (in the late eighties/early nineties -> higher prices/margins at the expense of market shares) rather the success of the iPod (own all the market, with an iPod at every price point). I don't think it's a winning strategy in the long term, though it has worked so far.

Unfortunately this time, Steve Jobs can't come back to set things right.

Imagine if it had been Ive. For one thing, I bet we wouldn’t have camera bulges.

i love how everyone’s idea of what Steve Jobs would do is what they would they would like to see happen :-)

I've got no skin in the game, I don't buy iphones.
