Yes, this years WWDC was somewhat disappointing when considering it from an innovation standpoint. However, Apple has tightened up their applications to make the experience better in key areas, which will keep it's users happy and thus passing on the word-of-mouth so key to success in the consumer market.

Notably:
- iBooks now has access to other media (magazines, newspapers, etc)
- twitter integration across the OS. If twitter is really that popular, then this makes it that much more attractive to those individuals that are seeking such functionality.
- Game centre. Strengthens the position of Apple and gaming in a big way.

You can certainly do these things on Android, but I would be surprised if most people don't customize their handsets. What apple has done is exposed this functionality to the masses that would otherwise be invisible. This is not a trivial task, but an incredibly valuable accomplishment.

Don't underestimate the ignorance of people. This forum is founded upon the very notion of it; the major difference is that the general masses spend far less time searching for answers.

I see Samsung making moves in precisely this direction, though their 'hubs' need to tighten up a bit to make the experience a little more solid across the board.
