I think the difference is that there is a successful one size fits all platform that it's competing with, which wasn't the case for PC's through the 90's. I don't think iPhone is better than Android -- they are just two ways of doing the mobile thing. Android and iPhone are still 10000x better than BB and Nokia. I'm an iPhone guy -- I prefer it over Android for many of the reasons in the article. The bottom line is I don't need to think to get apps and functionality out of my iPhone. When people ask me what they should get, I usually reply with "I like iPhone because of X, Y and Z, but if you choose Android you're still going to have an awesome phone."
