Man, what a bad article.
I think Apple success has been enabled their investment in a solid OS platform that they have been able to move to new devices. This is not easy, and it is often overlooked.
It takes a long time to build an OS. The move from Mac to iPhone to iPad was pretty well done (yes, you could argue that iOS is not tablet specific enough), and RIM, Android Honeycomb, and HP/Pre are having a hell of a time catching up, Microsoft are still getting their phone OS sorted, and Nokia just threw in the towel.
While I don't think iOS is the pinnacle of operating systems Apple's investment in engineering Cocoa/iOS is certainly paying off.
