I have been reading with great interest the opposing analyses of the Apple iPhone by PC Magazine editor-in-chief Jim Louderback and reviews editor Lance Ulanoff. Jim believes the iPhone will fly and then flop, while Lance believes it will flop and then fly.

I have had a chance to play with the iPhone on a couple of occasions. Though Jim and Lance both make strong points in their columns, I would suggest that my colleagues are both half right. I believe the iPhone will fly off the shelves and continue to gain consumer interest and demand. There are three key reasons why I think it will be a major hit and that Steve Jobs's prediction of selling 10 million units in the iPhone's first 18 months on the market is extremely conservative.

I just don't see anyone paying 600 dollars for a phone and then 200 a month to the phone company to get all the features out of it.
