Apple's iPhone announcements this month shifted the technology landscape in a similar way to how a movement in plate tectonics shifts the earth's geography. For now, much of the change is beneath the surface of the public's awareness. Over the long haul, however, the visible changes will be substantial and dramatic. In the world of technology, "long hauls" are measured in months rather than in the millions of years of geological time. The net result of all the announced iPhone changes is that the iPhone will be in an even better position to dominate the markets for handheld devices.

"My iPhone has 16 GB of disk space, 128 MB of RAM, a 600-plus MHz processor and a much better display than my original computer, and it has Darwin open source ported to it; so its essentially a Unix-like OS which led guys like Jay and myself to use the phone as if it were a Unix workstation and write applications in a familiar Unix-based environment," said Brian J. Fox of the Okori Group.
