I agree. There is that mystique about the iPhone that comes from being the trendsetter and "cool" device. And there is a whole industry for aftermarket "iPhone accessories".

A guy at work the other day brought these portable and collapsable speakers for his iPhone with builtin batteries, and the sound was not much more powerful than what I get out of the stock N900 speakers. I thought he looked stupid with that "portable setup". But he seem happy, so I didn't say anything.
