The SmartPhone Ecosystem: Why iPhones Will Succeed...

I spoke with an Adobe employee that's been around since 286 computers from long ago.  His case about Apple's iPhone and the Android was that the whole market is a completely different ecosystem compared to computers that competed for the cheapest price, where most consumers didn't care if the quality was good or not.   

Now in the current setting, the price point has crossed the threshold to make these devices affordable and in this setting consumers don't care so much about price, but rather quality.  My added 2¢ was that also the industrial design combined with good intuitive interaction design of the interface, makes Apple's iPhone not only market leader, but generates customer loyalty.

He added that for the Android, out of the 700,000 applications, the most popular application or the killer application is the "Advanced Task Killer Free", to essentially kill other applications running on the Android.  I have to agree with that.
