In this particular case though: You have to be aware that whatever market Apple enters (except music players, maybe), they always fail to reach a noteworthy market share.

Phones... < 3% AFAIK. Even smartphones: 16% or so.
Computers in general: 5%

That means 97% of the phone users and 95% of all computer users stay away from Apple. Maybe one of the reasons for this is this is that many consumers find the über-American, hysteric hype as repulsive and shady as I do.

(It's symptomatic, though, that people would think Apple's market share is much higher... because of the noise they generate among those who fall for hysterical hype: journalists.)
Just out of interest, what is linux's market share on consumer devices? (phones, pc's, etc not servers, routers or set top boxes)
