If you're 31, a male college graduate, live in New York or California, and earn way more money than I do, chances are you're seriously thinking about buying the $499 version of the iPhone.
According to a new survey released by Solutions Research Group, the lines that form outside Apple and AT&T stores on June 28th will most likely be composed of 30-something males who make an average of $75,600/year (26 percent higher than the national average), and close half of them won't own an iPod--if you can believe that.
The survey also highlights some rather obvious points, like the fact that T-Mobile and AT&T customers are more interested in the iPhone than Sprint and Verizon subscribers (ya think?).
The results were based on an online survey of 1,230 American consumers in May, Solutions Research said. And as a side note, IDC will be releasing what will likely be a much more comprehensive iPhone demand survey early next week. Stay tuned for the results...

OLD IDEA.... new place.
i have been living in Japan for the past 8 years....
and the cell phones here have always been at least 3-5 years ahead of any other country.
the phones here have been able to play music for at least 2 years.... we have had a GPS for about a year and a half.
the phones here are smaller cheaper and more fashionable.
most phones even use an IC chip to pay for things.
i wish there was more exchange of the techonology and
more awareness of international inventions.
because from the point of view here....
the i-phone is a the newest old style phone to come out.
take a look to the East.... and see what is happening.... and compare.
enjoy the i-dinosaur.

it's kind of hard to be a "bridge" and exchange ideas if the advances in mobile technology we get are going to be called "dinosaurs."
Honestly, GPS is nothing new here either, and playing music is very very old here as well. North America may not be as far along as asian countries, but those countries are generally smaller with smaller populations, so it's more affordable to build out massive wireless networks.
If you want to compare, you should really REALLY compare. It's call incremental progress.

That GPS system all of your phone use? Oh wait, that was the U.S. too.
