> no one knew what the iPhone would do

When you are the CEO of Intel you should be able to see/forecast what smartphones would do in the market.

The iPhone wasn't completely new. Nokia already had some "little smart" phones on the market already.

The only real surprise was Apple's ability to get a US phone company on board with selling the iPhone and losing grip on what software that was installed on the phones.

So did other hardware/software vendors, and many of them were a lot smarter than the iPhone.
