Not really, technology evolves. Companies innovate and compete. Look at the videogame market. Nintendo added motion controls (note: THEY DID NOT INVENT MOTION CONTROLS) to the Wii. Now Microsoft and Sony are reacting and improving on it through Kinect and Move.

Whatever Apple does, everyone else will do. Whatever Google does, everyone else will do. Whatever the high end Android manufacturers will do, everyone else will do. So it benefits everyone.

If only Steve could do it without the reality distortion field. To a certain extent that's marketing, and also the general state of humanity (people just don't think as critically). Heck look at the number of people who think Obama is Muslim or isn't born in the United States. I'm not saying Apple owners are like this, but the people spouting off Apple is better because they invented forward facing cameras on phones or the people portrayed in that HTC Evo owner, or iPhone 4 shopper parody (he made both) remind me of this.
