It's also rather comical that the author seems to think the iPhone was the first to target the high-end market. Nokia's had a whole series of Series 60 phones targetted directly at the same market (N80/N95 spring to mind). Those things where selling for more than 400 Euro's at one point. The S60 interface was (and is) awful, which limited their success. It wasn't, however, for the lack of trying.
