I never doubted the time would come. Now, with Apple working on the rumored 'reduced cost' iPhone for sale in countries where wireless carriers don't subsidize the cost of the phone, who knows what other leading phone makers will knock off the current king of the market? These are interesting times and the best thing about it is that competition brings yet another win to the general population.
