Why would you want them on your phone, computer or any other device?

The consumer mobile phone industry is largely driven by fashion and, bluntly, apps are a nice feature but well down the list of reasons to own one.

Apple have released the same design for three iterations. I’m not sure they’ll get away with that again.

As for best placed to compete – I assume you’re talking about the US as everywhere else no-one is threatening Symbian yet.

UIs are nice and apps are nice but, ultimately, they will not sell phones by themselves. I think that’s a lesson Apple need to learn or it could be hard for them in 2010.
