Apple should pull the plug on the iPhone and Dvorak is a troll

John Dvorak is at it again. We won't even bother linking to his commentary. We don't feed the animals at the iphonenewsblog. Instead we'll tell you that the opinion he has is that the iPhone will fail and that Apple (AAPL) should sell it off to another company.

Dvorak states:
"There is no likelihood that Apple can be successful in a business this competitive. Even in the business where it is a clear pioneer, the personal computer, it had to compete with Microsoft and can only sustain a 5% market share."

as well as:

"What Apple risks here is its reputation as a hot company that can do no wrong. If it's smart it will call the iPhone a "reference design" and pass it to some suckers to build with someone else's marketing budget. Then it can wash its hands of any marketplace failures.
It should do that immediately before it's too late. Samsung might be a candidate. Otherwise I'd advise people to cover their eyes. You are not going to like what you'll see."

If you MUST read this, you can do a search for it. For now, we think it's just trolling for traffic by trying to be controversial but ending up looking like an ass. Something Dvorak has seemed to be very talented at doing. Anyone remember him proclaiming the Mac was dead? Numerous times on top of that?
