Apple iPhone accessory market set for slow start
By
Owners of Apple Inc.’s iPod love to trick out the music players with cases, speakers and other accessories and its upcoming wireless iPhone promises to be no different. But the iPhone accessory market looks like it will get off to a slow start when the device goes on sale this Friday due to the tight grip Apple kept to prevent information leaking to the market about its most anticipated product in years.
“Apart from measurement purposes, developers haven’t been given access to the iPhone. Nobody’s really been able to test it electronically with anything,” said Jeremy Horwitz, editor- in-chief of iLounge, a top Apple news Web site. “The reality is that they want to have a tighter grip on accessories this go around.”
