Cupertinian shinyness?
Either you like it or not folks, Apple has ressurected 2 significant product categories (home computers, smartphones) and created 1 new (tablets), in an era that the other companies looked like they were trying to kill the categories they "competed" in.
Have you ever used a Nokia N70 or N80? Utterly terrible. Theoretically capable of everything, yet lame and sloow at everything. I got a N70 just because I wanted the awesome Symbian S60 games gameloft was producing back then (the asphalt series etc), but the multimedia experience sucked. Blackberry? Give me a break!
As regards PCs, ever tried to use Windows 7 to convert a video to MP4? It cannot be done without the help of third party tools.
Now, I won't get an iphone because not being able to load apps from my harddisk to my own phone (even my old, locked by vodafone to death GX30i can do that with some WAP tricks) is too much flexibility to give up, so I want to get an Android phone. And i can't decide which one to get, because of all those customs UIs (facetime, Sense) and third party extensions (LG 3D) that exist out there. It's literally a "who knows what you will get with every phone" platform.
