Phil Windley explains that the iPhone created an eco-system before it even shipped:
A guy near me in line, Kevin from Park City TV, went to Dicks Sporting Goods and bought a shade tent. I went over and bought a golf umbrella. Lots of people have bought chairs, umbrellas, and so on. Whether of not Apple makes money, Dick's is cleaning up!
California Pizza Kitchen has been making deliveries to the line. I got a Diet Coke and it about saved my life.
I don't know how the iPhone will do over the long haul, but Apple sure knows how to get people excited.
