iPhone spurs reactions
The introduction of Apple's iPhone has already spurred a flurry of comments and speculation from numerous firms and industry watchers. Interestingly, electronics manufacturer Samsung sees Apple's latest product release as both a competitive move and a potential market opportunity, according to the Associated Press. "Since it's new it could bring both sides, positive and negative," said Kim Jeong-han, Samsung's senior vice president for the company's telecommunications business. Nokia, however, spoke differently of the iPhone, describing the device as "quite an interesting product," after which the cell phone giant quickly played down suggestions that Apple's latest offering will upset its core business. Nokia's multimedia unit leader Anssi Vanjoki outlined Nokia's strong points, citing the large screens, storage capacity, and media playback functionality in the firm's high-end cellular handsets.

Their Scared
Samsung , Nokia .. their all scared shxxtless
The lower end of the market won't change .. some people just want a small phone thats a phone .
But for the higher end of the market that wants their phone to do email, sms, cal etc and ync with their pc the Iphone is a revolution.
From what I can see of most people reactions .. those who just read the spec's seem to say "yeh thats cool but expensive and other phone do that stuff" and then there are those who have watched the keynote demo and understand whats so special about it and then there are the very few who have actually used it and just go WOW
