iPhone: The Reebok Pumps of 2007?

Author: Patrick Clements

There is no doubt that the iPhone looks to be a very cool product. So were the Reebok Pumps. But as soon as the hype wore off from Dee Brown's fantastically brilliant evangelistic marketing move during the '91 dunk contest, sales at Reebok returned to normal and nothing really changed.

The iPhone is NOT the next iPod of mega-market domination. There will be great sales initially, but I am going to have to be proven wrong on this one if the iPhone comes even close to living up to the lavish hype around it.

My guess is that if you can get your hands on one early at cost, there is a mint to be made on eBay reselling them for 2-3 times sticker price. It's the sustainable market share that I don't believe in.

Any opinions on this?

Bonus question: Who did Dee Brown defeat in the finals of the '91 dunk contest with his no-look dunk?

The first person to email the correct answer to jason.moore@bigwebapps.com will receive a $25 Borders online gift card.

UPDATE: Jake Garris of Pittsburgh, PA wins the bonus question with the answer of Shawn Kemp!
