Says it all really. And where can I get one? You fools do realize that
by promulgating speculation like this you are advertising the iPhone? If
you seriously wish ill upon it, and this really is your best shot, you'd
be better keeping quiet until the cavalry actually is just on the other
side of the hill.

Who "wishes ill" on a phone? We just wish ill on the trolls who think
it's man's greatest achievement since fire and the wheel...

Oh, well that's fair enough. Still isn't it better to ignore them? I
don't think many people would be swayed by such ideas.

Yes, but we're weak... It's like feeding a good straight line to a comic-
he's compelled to take the bait... ;-)

Nope.
STUPID slides; it has nothing to do with iPhone comparisons, certainly
doesn't show that any competing product would automatically be better
or bigger than iPhone, and obviously then doesn't 'one-up' iPhone.

And how, with no product, no deal, and no specific comparisons to make,
does this _potential_ partnership already trump the success of iPhone?

Whoever wrote those is apparently just a blithering loudmouth.
Only a fool would claim such success from just a vague plan for a
potential product. He may as well name what their first-quarter sales
would be, because it's apparently _all_ imagined.
