As more and more mobile phones can handle a full browser who cares about the minimal versions, something most of us never really got around to anyway.Maybe increased video demand?More Mac computers on campus? We've already begun seeing this as all the students buy iPod's but also having iPhones should increase Mac's market share in other areas significantly. With college students it's cool to have Mac stuff now.That's all I got... You iPhone fans… ;)

More Mac computers on campus? We’ve already begun seeing this as all the students buy iPod’s but also having iPhones should increase Mac’s market share in other areas significantly. With college students it’s cool to have Mac stuff now.

That’s all I got…
