all but two of my friends have an iPhone or intend to buy one.
one has a Pre, and appears to be a strange mixture of enamoured with and annoyed by it (especially Palm's constant attempʦ at iTunes integration1).
the other has both a G1 and a FreeRunner. he's not especially bothered by the battery life or speed, and appreciates the hackability. to put things in perspective, he's also the only friend that dœsn't use a Mac2: he lives on Ubuntu.
as far as I can tell, this is fairly representative: the G1 finds iʦ home mostly with the freedom fighters.
1 feel free to blame Apple for this if you want, the point is it still degrades the Pre experience
2 he did buy a Mac Mini and gave the OSX thing a try for over a month. it's hard to adjust to "the Mac way of doing things", especially when you can't get over how stupid it can be sometimes. it's like writing Java. the Mini is a media PC now.
