seems like a dinosaur to us middle aged geeks but we shouldn't forget that the iPhone was designed by middle aged geeks. I have three kids as does my girlfriend and considering that we work out of a home office we wind up seeing more kids than adults in the course of a day. We also reside in New York City in an area mostly occupied by people in their twenties and early thirties, Silicon Alley. Thumboards and SMS are king. Unlimited text is cheap, voice is expensive. You'll see a lot more Sidekicks than iPhones among the younger set and it isn't just price. I have heard on several occasions kids say that they hated touch screens; they're creepy. They use WM but smartphone not PPC. The other day a kid described my iPhone as an old man phone. Yeah, they're a few that have it as a status symbol but they seem to be loaners. I really believe MS may be on to the future here.
If my eyes weren't getting worse and my fingers bigger I'd probably would have stayed with my Treo 750. I'm not so sure that the iPhone IS where the future is.
