Your shortsightedness is showing. The iPod was also thought to be a flash in the pan, assumed due to many limitations to be unlikely to succeed, and is to this day not the best product in its class (the Creative Zen Vision: M is still superior in nearly every way), and yet it's the market leader with second place nowhere in sight. To assume the iPhone's incapable of the same success based on the level of hype and the exact same blind devotion of its users as the iPod is foolish.
The iPhone is quite capable of becoming the iPod of phones whether we like it or not. Personally I'm not looking forward to a future where my choice in phone makes me just as much of an outcast minority as my choice in MP3 player did. But I genuinely believe the iPhone's domination is all but inevitable, and will be all the more swift as soon as their exclusivity with (ugh) AT&T ends. I will still not buy one, but I expect to see them more popular than RAZRs.
