OK there are lots of imitation iphone makers out there, blatatantly ripping off the iphone. Samsung, Meizu, LG, Nokia soon probably.
However one thing they forget. No matter how good they are, their wannabeiphones will not be part of a well thought out seamless SYSTEM.
They are content merely to put out hardware but that is why the ipod succeeded when the others have merely done OK.
The real stroke of genius is itunes which was given a way for free and has gradually built up to be in billions of peoples homes, organising how they listen to and buy music.
The iphone will take it one step further and use itunes to distribute the applications. How much confidence will this give the user? Rather than going to a completely anonymous download site which you just don't know if you can trust or not, you can go to faithful old itunes and download APPLE pre vetted applications in complete safety from downloading a trojan, adware or a virus. AND you know exactly where to go. And you can download your music or a TV show from their too.
Apple TV is a sleeper product also destined for great things I reckon.
itunes is the master stroke which the competitors forget about.
Oh, also these companies can't develop silky smooth graphics or have any sense of taste or style
