Apple products are just Incredible, Beautiful, Amazing!
The other companies obviously need more adjectives.

ipod and ipad sales really took off this last quarter

Not that surprising seeing how they dominate the mp3/tablet markets and have a huge chunk in the smartphone market too.
If they have so much money, why don't they bring all those jobs they have out sourced to other countries back home? It's not like the really need that much money on reserve when they could bring tens of thousands of jobs to the US.
Hardware sales matter to a hardware company. Which Apple is. Google is primarily a software company. For the most part, they don't really care which phone you buy as long as its got their software on it (although they do actually make a phone).
They're not competing in the same game.
Hahaha, reading through this thread just makes me go:
"In this thread: Butthurt Android fanboys..."
It's very simple. Android is good. Apple is good. In some people's opinion Android is better. In most people's opinion Apple is better. Just accept it, congratulate Apple on their absolutely amazing quarter / year and quit being butthurt. It's not like there's no reason for Apple's success; people decided they wanted to buy an Apple product, and most of the people I know are still very happy with their decission.
Just chill out, this is not war, this is healthy competition that keeps the market moving.
Please.
Instead of supporting only one product go buy all of them, screw the human rights and praise the corps. Apple simply feels way too limited compared to the world of PC.

Yet, his analogy was sound as it is the same thing(see "exact same specs") for different prices, whereas comparing a Mercedes to a Camry is not. If Mercedes and camrys were the exact same car yet you paid 70k more for the mercedes because of the brand name THEN your comparison would be close. try harder.
Bow down before our new furry overlords!
In most peoples opinions Apple is better, in any tech savvy person who knows anything about computers or potential of an OS, Android is better. This is not an opinion, this is a fact. Apple is a lot more user friendly, and I will say less buggy. But in terms of potential, Android OS owns it. Root and mod a phone, fix permission issues, and congratz on your super phone.
It's not so much about the user base as it is that Apple doesn't put much if any development into Opengl which makes it a pain in the ass for developers to develop their own workarounds. The last update to Opengl was in 2010. Apple rather make their customer base use bootcamp to get windows based applications to run it seems.
In order for your comparative analogy to work the Camry would have to out-perform the S, and you would not be able to buy gas for the Mercedes from about 40% of all stations in your respective country. You would also be legally restricted from doing any type of repair on your Mercedes.
Basically this just proves that releasing the same product with a couple upgrades will is profitable.
Luckily, "tech savvy" people aren't the majority of the market.
You're a minority.
I'm "tech savvy" myself, yet I own an iPhone and an iPad myself and I'm damn happy with them. As you say, the iOS is more user friendly and less buggy. I don't want to constantly watch my steps on what I do just because my phone's OS doesn't give a jack on what's being done with it, and I don't want to spend hours tweaking shit just to get somewhere close to what I could have with just buying a FINISHED product.
But I'm not here to argue.
Grats Apple, let's see how the inovations flow under Cook's lead.
there is a tiny flaw in your analogy. you can get the same, or better performance out of a $600 dollar PC that you could get out of a 2,500 dollar Mac. you cannot get the same performance out of a stock toyota camry that you can get out of a benz s class.
if you honestly want a Mac.. build a hackintosh and save $1,500. your getting the exact same components, performance, and the same operating system. just without the huge "brand name" mark up. saying that a Mac is just better because you spend 2,500 on it is just as ridiculous as saying that because your hula hoop that you bought for 2,500 dollars is immensely better than your neighbor's hula hoop that he bought for 5 bucks.

Mac G5 Quad 2.5 GHz 8GB DDR2 NVidia GeForce 7800GT
As a tech savvy person then you should know all you need to do is hook your phone to your computer, run a batch file to root it, install a bootstrap/safestrap, flash your ROM and then run your permissions fix. A total of 20 minutes if you know what you are doing. So there really isn't an "hours of tweeking". Just getting done what needs to be done. No more than needing to factory reset your phone.
