Apple is master of the user Interface hands down. Where else besides a device you use contantly, in quick bursts, while on-the-go does user interface matter more?
Sure some folks on HN will prefer an open OS- but for the general public it will be a very long time before any other mobile OS catches up in terms of ease of use. And when they do catch up it will be from copying Apple's every move.

Do real people actually -care- if they get flash on their phone? IME what people are looking for is support of video sites that aren't youtube. But shouldn't we be calling on those sites to support vanilla h264 and html 5 rather than h264-wrapped-in-proprietary-inefficient-mess? Why call on -phones- to destroy our batteries trying to make that proprietary inefficient mess run acceptably?
