I'm sure there's a tactful joke in there about 'Dignity,' but I'll let it pass. But yes, the likeness is uncanny here, although in real life it is less pronounced.

Smart Phone (iPhone) Developer Demand Skyrockets 500%
There's an article on digg about how the demand for iPhone apps developers have gone up 5 fold recently. http://digg.com/apple/Demand_for_iPh...elopers_Upn500
You can check out the stats page directly here at http://odesk.com/trends/iphone
Does this mean that the future of smart phone apps are in OUR hands now, and not a room of cubes at Nokia?

No. iPhone, whether you think its great, good, middling etc ctc., targets one part of the market (10%?).
The Symbian Foundation will enable phones that target a much, much larger part of the market (50+%).
Still you could argue there's things the foundation could learn about dealing with developers / distribution etc. But it is rarely as simple as people think.
