I appreciate the design too, but I would like to mention the one thing I see as the real killer, iTunes.

The only time my HTC Touch Diamond comes close to a USB cable is to charge the batter (which is unfortunately too often) or to update a ROM. I never, ever sync with the local PC. I do not want to sync to my local PC. I haven't sync'ed with a PC for years.

I set my WinMo phones up to sync with Exchange over the air and download apps over the air and pull my music and even ('gasp!') movies over the air. I want to be as independent of a static desktop device as possible. Windows Mobile lets me do that. With the iPhone, I need to have a home base... with iTunes. No Linux or FreeBSD either. My choices are Windows or OSX.
