An iPhone is sold naked, who is going to dress it up?

Executive Director, Macintosh Reseller Association
Implications: 6 million already sold, 10 million by the end of the year, another 10 million plus next year.. A very smart man told his children as they were about to move to America - "When it rains stand on the corner and sell umbrellas, but if you can think of something everyone can use, make it and sell it and remember you only have to make a penny on each one, because in America you will sell millions and millions of pennies is a lot of money."

Analysis: 10, 20 million iPhones is a lot of product that needs to have accessories. But one thing that is missed in this article is that the new phone is also an iPod. Look to companies that make accessories for the iPod to jump on the iPhone bandwagon.  While the articel does talk about a few copmpaies it leaves out those that directly support the iPod to a major degree. Looking at Bluetooth is fine but what about a low cost dock for both home and office use. That would be two sales for one phone - two more pennies. So maybe the real winners will be Belkin, and Griffin Technology. All those small companies that are going to make millions of pennies.
Hint - Google -- ipod accessories
