Analysis: I'm glad. For two reasons. The new comer comes in and shake things up. This time it's Apple. Next time, it may be Android. who knows. For all these wireless giants who think otherwise, it's good to see them take it on the chins.
The second reason is that the humbleness is also being shared by Verizon and other wireless carriers. Open your network, guys. It's not about letting phone makers take control but let the consumers choose. Verizon can't wait for Storm to be in their stores. Or can they? Pricing is so secretly guarded it's making Apple look bad with all their recent product leaks.
Here's the bottomline. The mobile and wireless market has changed dramatically. All I've seen about "G1 openness" from T-Mobile, Sprint's fine prints, and Verizon trying to redefine their open network initiative are mere Orwellian double-talks.
Winners: All mobile warriors.
