Even with their problems, many people in the corporate environment still use them. The iPhone will have familiar applications that will appeal to the consumer and it will be at a reasonable price for what you're getting. Steve Collins

Linda Claxton Partner and Shareholder Ogletree Deakins Ask my kids about the iPhone! All the hype around this phone is just crazy; I can't believe that so many people are already lining up for it. I'll be excited to see how it turns out, especially since it doesn't really have a predecessor. It's totally new, and I think that people have no idea what they're getting into.
