It's okay though, we don't mind you coming over to our side. We've been waiting for you.
Keep waiting. You're young:

The article extrapolates predictions based on the assumption that nothing, at all, will change between now and 2010. Hardly worth my consideration.

Prediction: The iPhone will be to business users what the iPod was to the home/recreational user. That'll change the ballgame significantly.

The Ipod has a big advantage over other Mpeg3 players because of its easy interface with Itunes and the I store. Thus Ipod is killing things like Zune in the marketplace, even though it's overpriced, and not significantly better.

The I phone, which has to interact with Cingular is not going to have the same sort of clear advantage over competitors. Difficult to believe that Sprint, etc. will not have comparable competing devices.

Besides it has a 5 hour battery. I could not survive in Business travel with a phone with a 5 hour battery.

I wouldn't bet that anything "I" will not be a success, but I doubt the I phone will be the runaway sucess amongst Business users that the Ipod is amongst teeanagers.

I should qualify my statement--the 2nd generation iPhone will be a big hit.

Wanted to revive this thread rather than start a new one...

I just got myself a PT, and am wondering what people think about Poweragent vs. Cycling Peaks? If cycling peaks really is that much better, I'll finally break down and install Windows on my Macbook... but I'd rather not.

Opinions? Dr. Pete- are you still rocking Poweragent? Or perhaps you never did actively rock it?

(plus everyone can weigh in on the iPhone predictions... how exciting!)

Cyclingpeaks is the one and only software I'd use for the powertap. If you don't have software that gives you normalized power and TSS, you're short changing your benefits of a powermeter.

yeah. it's an overpriced piece of software, especially with their irritating one-computer license, but it's still a necessary purchase.
