What makes iPhone different from other phones i.e nokia, SE, HTC, WinMo PDA Phones?
It's not the hardware or touch screen. It's the OS behind it. As long as apple makes improvement to its mobile OS then i think iPhone will not be obsolete anytime soon. If Nokia, SE, HTC and others still using WinMo or Symbian OS then they are not a competition to iPhone OS. The only rival that can challenge iPhone OS is the Android OS from Google (even it's also resemble iPhone).
ps - the design also plays a role in the phone survival.
Just my 2 cents

Same goes for the applications that resides on the phone as well, its the usability of it that determines the success. The OS and the available SDK's role is just to help make life easier for the developers. NO disrespect to mods but where does the usability concept of the iPhone comes from if not from the OS itself. The ease of use and intuitive UI comes from the OS and been complimented by the hardware. This is what google did with Android. They develop the OS first and it will later cater to a wide range of hardware from the OHA (Open Handset Alliance). SDK's are just tools for developers to easily create apps for the intended platform and I agree with you about the success of an app depends on its usability.  |
