Why doesn't it work? Because everyone is trying to copy the FORM not the substance.<p>Apple doesn't make computers or phones. They make tools for computing, and tools for communication/socializing.<p>While dell tries to compete with a quad 2.8ghz thingy in a shiny red case, Apple will make a beautiful tool for getting your work done. Same with phones, LG, Google and Nokia sell you features, Apple will sell you a tool that lets you do what you need to.<p>Features are involved, but the mindset and orientation couldn't be farther apart.
