iPhone from Apple On: Should Verizon and T-mobile be scared?

iPhone from Apple is expected to come on June, is the competence ready? They had better to be ready because Apple has much to show and much more to come ahead. Verizon is good in smart phones that are designed more for Wall Street people. T-mobile? Sidekick 3, a teens' phone but no for business people.
Both companies', Verizon and T-mobile, smart phones are designed just for one generation of users, the business users. But with this new mobile device from Apple, things change A LOT. They made a great move by integrating the ipod with the iPhone; nevertheless, they should know that as mp3 player the iPod will continue being the most used gadget. Steve Jobs integrated two things you don't see so often in Smart Phones, design and functionality. Still better yet is the fact that this new mobile phone is being supported by the two Internet giants, Google and Yahoo.

Google offers Google Earth, a 3D map service that can help you to locate any places in the world; from stores to restaurants and much more. This is what I call the great push from the "great giant."

Price has many users concerned, but it wont be a decision maker for almost anyone. After people spending US$1000+ for a video game on Ebay, it was demonstrated that for some of them price is not a big deal.

June may look far, but every day it is closer and with it comes the iPhone.
