"There's always a market for well-designed, easy things to use, especially with older people."

Apple has that market. Windows doesn't bring anything exciting to the table.

Sounds like somebody who has never used a Windows Phone.

This guy has used a Windows Phone before, and he has some things to say about it -- you might have heard of him, some Wozniak guy? ( http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/28/2983312/steve-wozniak-wind... )

Yes, Apple has that market -- for people who have $549 to spend, or spend money on some bloated post-paid contract.

iPhone 4s - non-contract price, $549 (previous generation)

Nokia Lumia 521 - non-contract price, $149.99 (current generation phone)
