Today, recycling Sunday’s blog post for fun and profit, I’ve done a wee bit more - in rather fewer words - for the Guardian’s Technology section, on the iPhone and What It All Means. Specifically, how can iPhones be as successful as the original iPods?

"By delivering on their promise, and changing the definition of a mobile
phone. That’s what the original iPod managed in the MP3 player world,
filled to that point with players of limited features, lame design and
duff PC integration.

The mobile phone industry is, of course, more mature than the MP3 player industry was in 2001. But it faces similar problems."

There’s more, of course.
