Maybe-- isn't the iPhone $99 at this point? I guess the winner in terms of phone sales could be "free" (subsidized by carriers).

If this becomes a race based solely on price I'm confident Apple will effectively lose (in the sense that they won't be able to command the financial success they have today).
