Harris Interactive has revealed in a recent study that nearly 20% of all US adults have an interest in purchasing an iPhone. Combine this level of intrigue with the million plus who have signed up to be notified of more information when the device becomes available and a continued avalanche of potential builds for Apple.

Although the Harris poll suggests many will wait for prices to come down it is evident that the marketing genius at Apple is churning out a product that can make or break the next revolution for the company.

"Apple's new iPhone has shaken the industry to its core," said Joseph Porus, vice president of Harris Interactive's technology practice. "Look for strong sales and a new cult to develop around iPhone."

That cult already exists as evidenced by the hundreds of iPhone related websites, forums and blogs.

Citing the usual suspects for adoption hindrance Harris notes that price point and lack of carrier options may be the biggest impediment to sales of the iPhone meeting the buzz.
