It brings down prices and boosts features. Does anyone remember the memory shortages of the early nineties? Remember paying $50 / meg? I do. Who cares who was first to the marketplace. What matters is how well your current product performs. Microsoft is a welcome competitor to both the MP3 and cellphone markets. Competition is good for the consumer no matter how you slice it.

No one is paying attention to almost 75% cellphone market share (href="http://www.swivel.com/graphs/show/5071535) owned by top 5 phone manufacturers. Remember Apple is very successful with iPod not only because of it cool looks but also because there was no clear leader in digital MP3 players when it introduced iPod. Also iPod growth is slowing now and that is the reason Apple is trying to introduce new products. It has been trying for a long time to increase it PC market share but with little success. Similarly Microsoft has been trying since last 4 years to influence cell phone but with little success. We will see what happens now. Also you guys should not loose sight of Nokia's cell phone offering in terms of low range, mid range and high range phones. N75 (http://www.nokia.com/nseries/index.html?lang=en&country=US#product,n75) and N91 (http://www.nokia.com/nseries/index.html?lang=en&country=US#product,n91).
