[IxDA Discuss] iPhone, who's buying...

[Tracy Boyington]

I'm sure the pretty clips and pink leather cases will come out soon. :-)
Since we're heading down that road, I'm also wondering how well the
glass surface will hold up to earring scratches (yes, I know men wear
earrings too, but generally they wear studs, and dangling earrings seem
to hold more danger). 

(BTW, one thing that would appeal to me as a woman is a wrist strap. I
don't think many men realize how common it is for womens' clothing to be
without pockets. If I want to bring my phone, I'm stuck carrying a
purse, carrying my phone in my hand, or putting my phone in a case -
none of which appeal to me.)

That is exactly what my wife said. She currently has a pink Razr,  
Blackberry (for work), and either the Nano or 60GB iPod video  
(depending on the day) in her purse.

She also mentioned that it's clearly designed by men for men - "No  
pretty clip," in her words. She went on to say that that's the case  
for most phones. "How many phones are really designed with women in  
mind?" That's when my behavior research switch went off in my head -  
An untapped market potential?
