That wasn't nearly as bad as his monkey-dance from a few years earlier.
 All jokes aside, he did make a couple good points: the iPhone will be
outrageously expensive, and it probably will not appeal to business
customers.

The iPhone may be purchased by a few Mac enthusiasts looking for a new
toy, but it doesn't include any office tools and it does not support
third-party applications.  There is also no way to add extra storage.
Those looking for smartphone functionality would probably be better off
buying a smartphone.  Your own suggestion that the Treo would
outperform the iPhone for less money turns out to be very accurate.
