Mobility Site - View Single Post - iPhone 8GB for $199-Is this the end of the WM Smartphones?

Well, I've always been one to say that WM Smartphones will never die. But, with the iPhone 8GB at $199, with built-in GPS and 3G, I can't imagine that Smartphone builders can possibly compete with that. I'm giving Palm 3 months to live, they hardly sell anything BUT smartphones. I hate to be a pessimist, but this is definitely going to either make manufacturers drastically drop prices, or simply go bankrupt. What's your take?
