I think it's just justification. A bad choice must be justified, loudly
and repeatedly. That makes it a good choice.

That's my theory, anyway.

It's been going on for years now, so it's clearly not going to stop.

i think all of them are maybe great hardware.... but what makes the
user really keep using it, is the software... or lets better say the
platform... n the platform just lives from a big third party developer
gang... every user has his special needs n if they wont be fullfilled
by the "hardware + platform " they will go where they get fullfilled
their needs... n obviously apple nowadays has the greatest and most
succesfull mobile platform.
of course there are things i like n there are things i dont like about
the iphone / iPad... but in my opinion it is the best platform
available with the greatest variety of software for mobile devices... n
it is stil growing
