Never mind that Apple has a long running inside track with MSM, and do some serious marketing. I recall being virtually unable to go a commercial break without seeing at least one iphone feature demo ad right after launch in my part of the world. With Apple it is just as much about attention as it is actual products. They have managed to make the choice of phone or computer into a lifestyle signal that their competitors can only dream about. Oh, and i recall the Palm CEO talking about how when they were designing the Pre they constantly ran into Apple having bought up whole factory outputs of part Palm wanted to use. End result was that Palm constantly had to go with their second best choice.
