Anyway, right now smartphones are a tiny niche market almost exclusively used by business people. The iPhone is going after the mass market. Most people don't have $80/mo plans right now and we'll see how that price hike plays with Joe and Jane Public.

This is so not true.

Me and a few other people pointed this out earlier in the thread. Almost everyone I know has data plans on their personal phones and I don't think I know ANYONE who doesn't have a smartphone for their personal phone.

I realize that grandma and grandpa aren't going to buy an iPhone but Apple is targeting this at the "I'm young with too much disposable income and need to look cool" crowd and they almost all have smartphones already.
