Companies come and companies go. The ones who go the fastest are the one's that look nice. The others have all caught up with the look and feel but provide more. My prediction is that a company like Sansung will over take Apple as they offer a far more access to their system by running the Android OS. I personally can't stand companies that try to lock people into their propriety systems which in the end limits what is on offer. It becomes a situation of take what we offer you, rather than what you would like. I think that with the passing of Steve Job's Apple will follow suit. If one has to rely on idiotic patents to try and stay ahead of your rivals then the end can't be to far away.
