Sounds a lot like what people wrote about the iPod in 2002: competitors haven’t caught up yet, but surely they will, because, well, just because. In the same way that surely, eventually, Ford and GM will start making cars as well-engineered and designed as the Germans and Japanese, because, well, because.

John Gruber on the press’ repeated concept that it’s “only a matter of time” before competitors duplicate the iPhone and its success. (via marco)

Gruber: so cranky; so right.
