iPhone: Just An iPod?

Sacconaghi basic view is that the iPhone isn’t going to be the dramatic game changer that people hope - and that in fact it could substantially cannibalize sales of free-standing iPods. The way he sees it, Apple can either create a product that is marketed as a phone first, and only secondarily a music player; or it could be sold as a music player with a phone built in.

Sacconaghi thinks the second choice is more likely. He says announcement of an Apple iPhone is a near-certainty in the next quater or two, with sales in mid-2007. Sacconaghi expects the company to partner with Cingular in the U.S. He thinks it is unlikely the company creates an MVNO., or virtual carrier, using its own brand.
