Excellent points about how Apple's perception of iPad has changed in a year. I also loved this: "Good iPad apps can make the iPad feel not like a device running an app, but like an object that is the app. GarageBand isn’t a musical app running on an iPad. It turns an iPad into a musical instrument." So true. But the most insightful quote is at the very end: "But there are other things any competitor could copy, easily, but seemingly don’t even understand that they should, because such things aren’t technical." That's it! In order to compete effectively, you need to fully understand your adversary's strengths, which I don't think Motorola, Samsung, and others fully grasp. They still brag about the dual core, and this or that technical detail. I have yet to see apps as polished as iPad's on Android. When they come (and when Android has a better app store), then Apple needs to be worried.
