I don't think there are that many companies out there that can turn a "big iPod touch" into a success, especially not a startup. People are much more willing to give Apple the benefit of the doubt and try their products than they would be with a startup or with most other companies.

This is why I want to laugh when companies like HP and others think they just need their own OS, and then they can be just like Apple. Apple has a lot of other advantages and factors working for them, that the other companies can't easily replicate.

The whole world spins around copying others and putting our own spin on it. 99% is copying, 1% is innovation. Thinking otherwise will not be compatible with reality.
