Microsoft: “There’s no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance."
Palm: “We've learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone,” Colligan said. “PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They're not going to just walk in.”
RIM: "in terms of a sort of a sea-change for BlackBerry, I would think that’s overstating it"
Nokia: “The development of mobile phones will be similar in PCs. Even with the Mac, Apple has attracted much attention at first, but they have still remained a niche manufacturer. That will be in mobile phones as well”
