IPhone a 'Wake-Up Call' for the Industry

With the announcement of the iPhone during Steve Jobs's keynote on Tuesday, Apple has put a tremendous amount of pressure on handset makers like Motorola and Nokia, according to industry analysts. Capitalizing on its legendary talent for creating easy-to-use products, Apple will be a competitor out of the gate.

"There was so much demand for the iPhone, it should serve as a wake-up call to the rest of the industry," says Michael Gartenberg, vice president and research director of Jupiter Research. "It's going to put a lot of pressure on the other handset makers in the high-end market, and that's where the money is."
