As Apple prepares to launch its long-awaited tablet computer, the media is already predicting that it will flop. Maybe it will. But to gain some perspective, here are some predictions and comments about the iPhone when it was first introduced.
“There’s no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance.” Steve Ballmer (Microsoft CEO)
“Apple is slated to come out with a new phone… And it will largely fail." Michael Kanellos, CNET, 7 December 2006
“The iPhone is nothing more than a luxury bauble that will appeal to a few gadget freaks."
Matthew Lynn, Bloomberg, 15 January 2007
"iPhone may well become Apple’s next Newton.” David Haskin, Computerworld, 26 February 2007
