| Phones will follow. Because Apple will also never make a cheap and
| open phone. But they will help open the market for one. Just like

| Some analysts are nostalgic for the days when they could appear

| knowing that there were no real alternatives, and that anything
| the company could deliver would more or less have to be purchased.
