No wonder other cell phone companies are struggling to make their own models that could be considered as “iPhone killers.” But so far, none have been successful when it comes to beating it to the top. Great work for apple, and more challenges to conquer for other cell phone companies.

Yes. And they are still on top as of the moment, making other mobile companies work double time to come up with their own version of an iPhone killer.

Just because they're on top of the foodchain it doesn't mean that the could get away with everything they want. Like the disturbing fact that Apple is throwing in adult materials to the iPhone. Lots of kids own one these days, and they are subject to be exposed to its obscenity.
