Okay, this is getting a bit ridiculous... GTSR Boy's post has been quoted not one or two times, but seven. Is that really necessary?

Although I agree for the most part with what you guys said in response to his post, you do have to give Apple credit for putting everything together in an attractive platform and in such a way that hadn't ever been truly done before. Essentially Apple combined the best of the best, with just a couple original ideas here and there, and assembled in a lucrative form factor. It was and is very easy to use, and therefore attracts the masses. GTSR Boy is also right on the money that Apple is in fact just protecting its patents, which it has the right do so. (Though it is laughable that they would file such ridiculous patents, the hand gesture patent is especially ridiculous.)

Well, I did kinda of allude to that in my OP and so did Helmore.
