Criticism of the iPhone: Will pundits eat crow?

There have been so many reports out there from every Tom, Dick, Harry and Sally claiming that Apple will fail with the iPhone. Again, I'd like to say to those who doubt or are nay-saying to take a wait and see approach.

Back when the first iPod came out, I too was a nay-sayer, thinking that Apple had it's head up it's butt and that there was no way anyone would buy such an expensive mp3 player. But boy was I wrong.

But, just because Apple is the market leader when it comes to the proverbial mp3 player the iPod, it doesn't necessarily mean they will come out with a perfect product the first time around. If we look at the iPod you'll see that the first generation was very different from what we have today, yet the essence of everything about the original iPod is still inherent in the 4g iPod most have as well as the nano's. Apple will churn the iPhone just as they've done the iPod.

Until the iPhone comes out, I'll take a wait and see approach. I don't expect Apple to hit a home run on it's first outing but I'm not counting it a strike out either.
