I'm old enough to remember the competition between Betamax vs. VHS. Objectively, Betamax was better, except for price and content. Turned out that what most people wanted was price and content.

Objectively, Android might be better than iOS, except for quality workmanship and ease of use. Turns out that what most people want is quality workmanship and ease of use.

The only serious competition I think we will see for a long while will have to come from Amazon, because only Amazon has the marketing mechanism to compete with the ease of use Apple has, assuming that Amazon can come up with a decent quality Kablet of some kind.

Meanwhile, that executive's complaints really boil down to "what we are making isn't anything as good as the iPad, and we can't even do THAT right."
