In a new low of online news, PC World has an iPhone article concerning a poll by ChangeWave concerning potential iPhone buyers. ChangeWave is an investment research company that "identifies and quantifies changes in industries...through surveys of a network of thousands of business executives and professionals working in more than 20 industries," according to their website. So, basically it sounds like the people polled were a bunch of rich people with various business interests.
So what does this survey say then? A group of around 3,000 rich people said that approximately 450 of them will buy an iPhone. And from that data , PC World extrapolates that the iPhone "seems set to disrupt the mobile phone industry." Wow, I know some people of this world are out of touch, but this seems ludicrous to the point of an advertisment.
First of all, the iPhone has already disrupted the mobile phone industry. Second of all, things won't get really crazy until 16% of everyone who is not a rich person say they will buy an iPhone, since most of the people in this world aren't rich business executives.
