It took a while but the guy makes a great point towards the end. Cell phone companies have sold an idea of the service that you will get but never give you the specifics of how it will be. For instance the new 4G network is coming. We know it's fast or should be but have they given a list of the speeds that you will expect while using this new 4G service or simply the idea that it will be fast so use it?

Most people wouldn't know the difference if it had 1mg download or 1mbs or 10mbs (though they'll understand that the second is faster). This is the marketing difference between Apple and Microsoft. Apple says 'it's faster' and you believe them. Microsoft says 'it's 64bit and can run 192gb of ram, which makes it blindingly fast.', but the second only means something to a small percentage of customers, and the message that gets through is Apple's 'it's faster'.
