You want to know what makes the iPhone such a hard thing to beat?
Apple.
It's all advertising. There have been COUNTLESS phones with great systems and great specs. Droid is just the latest and the Dragon is going to be another.
You can say it's the App store but I doubt the 3 legged dog that is the crippled app store is really keeping the iPhone afloat. It's the WAY the phone is sold. It's sold as dead simple but elegant high tech. Anyone who can afford one can show their friends how "technologically advanced" they are and still be comfortable using it.
Until a company can advertize and sell better than Apple, no one will compete on their level. I mean, come on people... How did Steve convince us that we wanted the electronic compass? Or how about that Cut, Copy and Paste were a "feature" that took YEARS to implement? Steve is a salesperson. He does it very well and he's Apple's best asset. Just look at how the company did while he was gone.
