@blipnl:

hardware: well yea it has the top spec of handheld gadget right now with 960x480 screen, full sensors + gyroscope... plus one of the speediest cortex a8 implementation, a larger-than-average camera sensor, etc

innovation: I think what happens is like the patent system here. It's easier to monetize your ideas on their platform, which can be a big carrot to motivate people.

snappy: hell yes, period.

apps: 235,000 apps from last count. The closest second place would be android at probably 60-70K now (last published at 50K). As for fart apps and ebooks: no app stores will restrict these kind of apps in the future, NOT MeeGo'S... so expect those cruft to be par for the course that will pad up all app counts on all mobile system for the foreseeable future.

experience: They get the highest satisfaction rating out of any other handsets in the market. Multiple surveys done (JD Powers, Nielsen, Cloud-something.. i forgot the name).
