While I'd also probably prefer an android phone, the creator of this video seems quite ignorant of the legitimate reasons not to make buying decisions based on laundry-lists of features. Iphones seem to have the best "app ecosystem" at the moment and the value of that to most consumers is very high.

I think it was commentary on the typical iphone fanboy more then the iphone itself. The point is, most people don't know why they want it, they just want it.

There was a recent item on an Apple blog called TUAW, entitled "If I couldn't use an iPhone...":

Apparently most of their writing staff, if they were hypothetically barred from iPhones, would either get a cheap cell or go without phones altogether. Only if they further hypothesised that you had to choose a competing "smart" phone would anyone consider an Anroid device.
I thought this video was a strange parody, with the customer's point blank refusal to consider purchasing or really even acknowledge anything but an iPhone, but maybe it's not so far out there after all.
