Last week it was the announcement that Apple had significantly beaten expectations for earnings in their 1st quarter of FY 2009,, including the sale of 22MM iphones for the QUARTER. I don’t have current estimates of total US market for cell phones, but in 1st quarter of 2008 the total was 31MM handsets sold, so the market share implication for iPhone is HUGE.

Today I read an announcement about greystripe.com and hitting more than 140MM downloads of its various apps, primarily iPhone based. I read about that in Techcrunch.

I’m reminded of a comment one of my colleagues made in 1994 regarding the Internet and saying “this might just turn into something.”

I’m thinking that might speak to the iPhone, too….
