Your points do not compute
All these functions are not only available, but have actually been native in even as far back as outdated windows phones. Iphones leverage the best technology out there. ActiveSync for exchange, in most businesses. All phones that leverage ActiceSync have the same feature set. All phones that get any other pop email, leverage the same technology as well.
On the Market points: Everything bought on the Market is synced to all devices in androids as well. In an androids case, most everything is free, due to the nature and mentality of the person who created it. Opensource. Dont get me wrong. They dont have to. They choose to.
I believe tha the real issue is that Apple users just have no idea that there is something else out there that not only works, but works cheaper and sometimes better. An apple user will argue other devices are unreliable.When in actuality, the users of other devices may go a bit crazy tweaking their device for bragging rights and cause this failure. They were likely not qualified to make the changes they made. Didnt understand everything and chose not to read up on it. Their bad. If left alone and used just like an apple device, it will work "like" an apple device.
Yep, apple hit the market first in the device world. No argument there.
