At a recent Churchill Club breakfast meeting, Palm CEO Ed Colligan was asked his opinion about the possibility of Apple launching their long-rumoured iPhone. Colligan said he believed that no company (he called Apple “one of the PC guys”) would be able to walk in and win customers in the smartphone market.

I beg to differ — if there’s one company that can change the mobile phone landscape, it would be Apple. When Apple first introduced the iPod, it was just one of many companies that had an MP3 player. We all know what a success the iPod became — it consistently has over 70% of the MP3 market share. What Apple does very well is understand the total user experience. Plus Apple has a lot of fanboys who would buy anything just because Apple makes it ;-)
