There's a difference between

... rose colored glasses and whatever it is you're smokin' this afternoon (sorry, couldn't resist a little teasing).

Seriously, the iPhone is going to be just one of a hundred phones in the average Cingular store, and the odds that selling an Apple product is somehow going to change the corporate culture at Cingular ... I'd give that somewhere around the same odds Andy Roddick had of coming back from 2 sets to love and 0-4 in the third, as he was being unceremoniously blasted off the court by Roger Federer at the Australian Open. Which is to say ... somewhere between Slim and none ... and Slim just left the building.

Not rose colored glasses at all. I really don't think Steve is going to suspend his legendary intollerance for incompetence.
