So?
Apple has been very good at marketing for a long long time.
It is interesting that they have so many flaws, and so many repairs, and still stay on top.
Very clever management and marketing... They simply are not the best, but they sure have a lot of people thinking they are.
I have an iPhone, the reason I brought it was not beacuse it was the "best" but because everyone else I know have BlackBerrys or expensive Nokia's while I had some rubbish Sony Ericsson.
It was because it was different and when actually using the phone the interface and touchscreen worked better and was just different. a Blackberry interface and a nokia one are supprisingly simlar, go to settings > desktop etc... worked the same on each phone, but iPhones don't have the same menu structure and messaging on the iPhone is way different.
Actually i'm not sure why I quoted what you put? sorry bout that,
Anyway my end point is, is that i'm an iPhone customer and apple didn't win me over with its huge coverage and all that, it was simply because it was fresh. To prove it, it was only last month I decided to hop on the band-wagon! I also didn't realise they were as big as they are. People told me the app store is big but didn't realise the scale of it until I did a few searches!
