Not that Apple is inferior in terms of technology, comparing to PCs, they are more customer-oriented, they understand what customers want, providing hassle-free turn-key solution to the not that tech-savvy but deep pocket customers...
They like to follow where the money is, launching hit products one by one that induce mass adoption... that's why the not-so-innovated MSFT's share price got stuck at 30, but Apple gave you over 2000% return in the past 5 yrs, which is quite unusal in the everchanging tech space.
I think iPhone just take us to another level of convenience with its mobile device.. it is nothing special and techy about it, there're others that gave you wifi, internet access, walkman features before, but iPhone is so much more streamline - fast and responsive.
I remember last year when the phone first came out and of course it instantly became the talking point at a christmas lunch hosted by a broker...I believe the phone would be a big hit because of its user-friendliness and versatility and ability to view webpage in a single screen, these by far exceed what a normal cell phone can do. A 40 yrs old analyst argued that it's gimmicky and not that innovative at all.... well.. a 40 yrs old geek just don't get it.. they are not the targeted customers and failed to think like a normal consumers.
I love my iPhone..I have my podcast on the go, listening to cnn, cnbc, bbc anytime anywhere.. IM chat... rss news feeds... sherlock homles ebooks.. organizers installed. This is simply not just a voice and sms only cell phone.
Traveled to CWB for lunch one day..Sushi Hiro lunch special, HKD250 for assorted 16 pieces of sushi, ~150 for a chirashi.. i always love great deals!
