Motorola -> Nokia ->blackberry->iPhone->?

iPhone is dominating the mobile market. AAPL is trading $665, increased from mid 300 same time last year. While enjoy all the glory, will iPhone sustain? Smart phone boosted Apple business. It becomes one of the most popular mobile device. From the high income business man to the day workers, almost everyone has to have one.

Mobile phone market history presents rather rapid changing who the number 1 is. Many years ago, Motorola was the phone to have. Motorola Razor was the hottest product in town. Soon enough, Nokia took over. With its sleek design and early stage smart phone, Nokia also added Vertu as its crown Jewel. Before Nokia finish spelling “long term profit” on its phone, the extreme popularity smart phone left Nokia behind. Blackberry was the king in town, dominating all company and government use. Once a while, you have Palm pre, and alike becomes a flash in the pan and lost momentum rather quickly.

Then it came iPhone, and it just become THE device in town with new, sleeker and smarter devices (can’t really call it phone anymore).

What is the next? If history tells us anything, iPhone is not likely to maintain its market place forever either. Technology advances way too fast that companies with future technology are making devices cheaper, faster and better. Can Apple escape their competitors’ fate? We are waiting.
