The iPhone has feature parity or superiority with most other SmartPhones. It seems the goal posts keep moving on features. No one was going to buy the iPhone because:
-No copy & paste
-No MMS
-No stereo Bluetooth
-No third party apps
-No video recording
-No Flash
Except they did. They bought it and liked it -- many of them bought another one (3G/GS). So it appears to me it's not really a feature-driven industry. It's a usability driven industry. Making a complex device easier to use is more important than offering every possible feature.
