Worth pointing out is that the author is an old Nokia exec.
Here's what he had to say when the 3G was released; "Now I fear Apple is entering into a similar mis-step it did with desktop computers with the Macintosh line some years back, when they tried to take on Windows computers head-on, tough low-cost pricing and almost identical feature set and just fighting the "moving boxes" game. Apple is far too expensive a design company to be able to afford to win in that game. That is mass market bulk game, and the winners will inevitably be those with the scale to crush Apple, ie Nokia, Samsung, LG." Doesn't really seem to be what has happened.
