I've been stating for a while that the android OEMs should learn from Apple and produce fewer handsets per year while giving consumers their best devices.
I still remember the flames from the android camp. Look who's laughing now!! Android OEMs yet again take a page from Apple's playbook.

It's the same logic Apple applied to the MP3 player market, the modern smart phone market, and the tablet market.
As you know, Apple was waiting for the technology to catch up to Apple's innovations.
The iPod wasn't the first MP3 player, but it dominated the market.
The iPhone wasn't the first smartphone, but it changed the smartphone market and usher in the modern smartphone.
The iPad wasn't the first tablet, heck MS developed the tablet almost 10 years before the iPad but look at the iPad. In its first year, the more iPads were sold than the first 10 years of MS-based tablets.
It's not about being first, its about being the best device for the consumbers. Apple excels at giving consumers what they want.

Actually I disagree on that apple gives consumers what they want, Just cause people they say it's good doesn't mean it is , people don't know what they want if you say is that good way was it call the worst technology of 2010

Actually its IBM who took a page from Apple playbook and copy the personal computer.
Also, Apple doesn't copy IBM -- Apple hates IBM since IBM can't compete in the OS business (both its PC-Dos and OS/2 lost out to MS OS, respectively) plus even IBM left the PC business.
Lastly, Apple created the modern smartphone business because IBM couldn't do it nor RIM or Nokia nor Palm nor HP, etc.
