The price of a 2G 20GB iPod (which I still own) was $500 in 2002. And the marketing department of Apple is own of the best on the planet as far as getting it into the hands of the people with the most influence. The Sidekick had its moment of glory and I'll guarantee the iPhone is going to be the item to have going into 2007.</p> I would just like to point out that the street price of the RAZR in 2004 was approx $500.
