What Apple's got that you dont

There's this NYTimes article that talks about statistics of IPhone users compared to other smartphone users.

IPhone Users Love That Mobile Web

It's funny that you can even make the comparison that way. There's Palm, Windows, Blackberry, ect. and then there's the IPhone. I have to say I'm not an owner of an IPhone. In fact the only thing I own of Apple is stock. When you think about it the IPhone doesn't offer anything new, so what is it that makes it so different? From playing with it a little I'd have to say it's the depth of the features. I have a T-Mobile Wing and I actually use the mobile web quite a lot, but I've played with an IPhone and noticed a distinct difference in experience. I could probably try to reproduce that experience somehow on my own phone, but I don't think I should have to. What do you think?

right. the difference between iphone and the others is the user experience. apple spends a lot of time focusing on the user. hm.. i guess i just figured out their mantra, "best user experience".
