Smart phone? I agree smart phones are different. My somewhat glib inference was that the iPad could maintain the same market dominance as the iPod Touch due to similar reasons.
- shingen 15y agoThe iPad has no more of a moat around it than the iPhone does. The iPod had a moat around it courtesy of the extremely difficult dynamics of dealing with the music cartels. Apple broke the cartels and came to dominate them; nobody else was able to. Such problems don't exist in either smart phones or tablets.
