The gadget formerly known as the iPhone seems to be the most unannounced product of all time. And despite the fact that no product details are known, many are expecting an Apple-branded cellphone to be a flop or to be a so-so performer.

 The Register says it all in their article entitled “Why the Apple phone will fail, and fail badly” - their reasoning: its mainly because of the price.

The Wall Street Journal on the other hand takes a more equivocal approach and suggests that a $300 cellphone from Apple might well sell 18 million copies over the next 2 years. However they say phone might also eat into iPod sales and they warned that the handset market has many players and is very competitive.
