The iPhone's feature set is too limited to appeal to business users and normal people will quickly find out that the iPhone isn't quite the Jesus Phone as some (hell, us) have proclaimed it to be. That's the opinion of a Current Analysis analyst, who predicts a "backlash" as soon as people find out just what the iPhone does and does not do. (Current Analysis helps companies "effectively anticipate and counter competitive threats, and win more business.") Apple may also find itself in hot water with the early adopters who are expected to buy the cellphone for one reason: people like real buttons and not touchscreens.
