Explain why I can hook up an iPhone to a Mac or Windows box and get all the features I think Nokia et. al, should provide? Backups, sync, updates, app installs and deleting 'just work'. No painful leaping from program to program. This is of course because Apple are in control of both parts of the puzzle. What is to stop the other guys from doing the same. This is one of many reasons iPhone sales are doing quite well.

The major difference between the business models (Apple vs Nokia, etc) is that after the phone sale, Apple has many opportunities for additional/continued revenue streams, whereas the other phone manufacturers just hope to control costs (support, warranty). That difference drives both strategic focus and motivation. It affects how the manufacturers view their customers.
