Apple will hit big with the crowd that want to have the latest/greatest but also the ones who see how useful the iPhone really is the funny thing, people always think that VPN is business only, well my college (Indiana University) used VPN over IPsec for their wireless, the whole campus is wireless, so if this rumor is true, the iPhone would be a free (no data plan) internet device for email, iChat, and Facebook, which college kids seem to check atleast twice every 10 minutes.

It's a nice little device if you have 600 bucks to drop, but it neither is, nor was ever intended to be, a Blackberry killer.
