Then drop the iPad and create another non-existing market, but noo people still want to pretend Apple didn't do anything special. Everybody can have their preferences, but to pretend this means nothing and apple is just some gimmicky toy company for snobs is pathetic.
I'm not saying Apple didn't do anything special, I just don't agree that it's the products themselves that is special. The iDevices, especially the iPad, are to me gimmicky toys.
I like iPad, as a toy.
Apple has always been best at marketing and building their image, people want their products because it has the image of being cool and trendy. It's a domino effect, Apple has gone from being products that geeks had because they wanted to have something that every one else didn't have to products that people want because every one else has it.
Going mental? Well only very sad lonely people would fill the big hole in their life with rooting for a phone maker![]()
