I think that this completely misses the point of why the iphone is great. When the iphone came out it was something that we had never seen before - it was sleek, had a great userinterface, large touchscreen and so on. That is why it was a success. It created its own niche that had not been filled before. Now all sorts of companies come up with "iphone killers" and think that they can do better than apple. But the game is already over - the market has moved on. The iphone was cool because it was a genuine innovation. Whatever rip-off some company dreams up now will only be compared to the iphone, effectively establishing Apples brand as the innovative leader. What you really need to do if you want to create an iphone killer is to think creatively and make your own innovative product. A copy-cat iphone will always be just that: a copy.
