Apple has made it pretty clear...
that they don't run their company to please Wall Street. For the most part, they release products when they're ready as opposed to when they need something to please "analysts" (the Maps app is a notable exception - yes they were getting sandbagged by Google, but what a mess). And good for them. They're still far from perfect, but the industry is otherwise mostly saturated with half-baked crap with user interfaces designed by software engineers and software engineering done by English literature majors. The loss of the Iron Fist of Jobs is clearly felt, but the overall philosophies seem to be holding... for now. They'll release a watch or television if and when it delivers the user experience they want, and if that means waiting for materials or battery or manufacturing technologies to catch up then so be it. Heck, look at how long they sat on the iPad project for... something like a decade from start to release, but it was the first tablet "done right." You only get one shot at a product launch, something Microsoft never seemed to learn. It didn't hurt them too badly when they were the 800-kg gorilla, but it's just sad and pathetic to watch now that they're not.
Android was always destined for a race to the bottom - if Samsung hadn't designed some highly desirable phones they'd have massive numbers and near-zero profits (except for Google). Even now, it seems that a Samsung split is inevitable - rumor is they're looking to revive MeeGo or some other mobile distro. They don't need Google anymore, and why use a commodity OS that helps keep the low-end competitors afloat and always nipping at your heels (and margins!)?
As much as I loathe Blackberry as a company (and BES as an atrocious pile of buggy bloatware), I'm kind of sad to see the BB10 software die. If you have to build a new mobile system, using QNX as the core is a pretty damned good idea if you're into things like stability, reliability, and security. Too bad they're about half a decade too late on that...
Looks like for 2014 I'll be staying in Apple's camp, by default. They're still the only company that consistently crosses my line of "eh, good enough."
