The billion dollar question is, "why does the iPhone keep popping up in casual conversation in the media?"
The Nokia version is, "how can I get me some of that love???"

Doesn't matter if it's more powerful or not. I don't want all games to be dumbed down little 99 cent experiences - another reason to fight Apple and Nintendo.

...But it goes back to Eldar's original lead-in - whatever OS comes next needs to be really scalable, it's going to have to be good in a lot of different devices, some of which haven't appeared yet.
When voice recognition and a standardized means of identification are common, I imagine that many devices will be built into the things we surround ourselves with everyday and not carried about as much as they are now.

HAL: You don't mind talking about it, do you, Dave?
Dave: No, not at all.
HAL: Well, certainly no one could have been unaware of the very strange stories floating around before we left. Rumors about something being dug up on the moon. I never gave these stories much credence. But particularly in view of some of the other things that have happened, I find them difficult to put out of my mind. For instance, the way all our preparations were kept under such tight security and the melodramatic touch of putting Drs. Hunter, Kimball, and Kaminsky aboard, already in hibernation after four months of separate training on their own.
Dave: You working up your crew psychology report?
HAL: Of course I am. Sorry about this. I know it's a bit silly.

Ok, YoDude, we know who Dave (Neary) is, but who plays the part of the paranoid computer?
