People went crazy about iphones before there was even such a thing as an appstore on the horizon.

I really don't understand why no other manufacturer is capable of producing something that gets close to the iphone. Even less since android is available as a platform. Sure, there still is the lack of multitouch, but I really don't get why nobody can come up with a serious device.

Because they're idiots who won't stand up to the tin-pot dictators at the mobile carriers.

The secret to Apple's success is actually quite similar to the secret to Microsoft's success: they've been fortunate at having incompetent competition.
