Re: Get a MS Pink instead - the next iPhone killer I would agree that, at first, Apple's primary advantage was form factor and good design but it took the rest of the industry so long to catch up (arguably they still haven't) that now they also have to compete against 1 Billion AppStore downloads and tens of thousands of apps most for $2 or $3 or free. Despite an almost decade head start there just isn't that much good WM software out there. The few good apps are incredibly expensive. |

kudos:1 | Apple also took a strong lead because it produce a very intuitive phone. Like when I use google maps on the iphone, I can type in a friends name and have the address from my contact book pop up on it. Apple was set on being the "blackberry of the personal user" and they delivered.
While other companies have released their "iphone killers", they just aren't polished and they feel rushed to market. |

That's just a Google Mobile thing, nothing specific to iPhone. A Sprint BlackBerry will tell you exactly where your friend is on the map, and you can use the built-in GPS to get you to the doorstep...even if you have to copy and paste the address from one application to another...while they are both opened. |
