>Eventually someone is going to iterate their software past Apple Actually somebody already did. Microsoft gets a lot of flak for its design skills, but I think they did splendidly with WP7. Having used a Lumia 800 for a week I was extremely disappointed to go back to my iPhone 4S. I believe that the future of the smartphone market is a battle for supremacy between WP7 and Android, and I for one am rooting for WP7. Apple's last 'successful' iPhone might well be the next one they release, unless they have got something incredible cooking.

While I'm impressed with WP7, it's not such a big leap forward like the iPhone was when it launched. That's the big problem for Microsoft. The Zune HD was pretty nice when it launched as well, but it wasn't compelling enough to displace the iPod Touch. If someone is going to innovate past Apple, they can't just make a sligtly better iPhone or iPad, they need to invent the new product category that will make one of those devices irrelevant.
