the iPhone has no chance ..

'There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance.

It's a $500 subsidized item.

They may make a lot of money.

But if you actually take a look at the 1.3 billion phones that get sold,

I'd prefer to have our software in 60% or 70% or 80% of them,

than I would to have 2% or 3%, which is what Apple might get'
