> I always say how is that different than the console makers

A smart phone is a general purpose computer, a console is an appliance. When the iPhone first came out many people argued that it was a feature phone for this reason.

There is nothing inherent about the smartphone that makes it a general purpose computer more than the console. Do you remember the big brouhaha when Sony stoped supporting Linux for the PlayStation?
