Sorry but I have a hard time believing that a Windows phone is even decent competition for an iPhone let alone blowing it away. The main attraction of an iPhone for me is the universe of apps that I have access to at any time in any place.

The list is different for everyone and it goes on forever but you get the point.

In short, the iPhone gives me easy access to high quality apps that make my life easier and more fun. And the iOS is a seamless experience across all Apple devices, easy, smooth, reliable, and very intuitive. I haven't found that with Android and certainly not with Windows mobile which has been a disaster to date.

For me it's about the Device + OS + Content Delivery Platform + Apps Library. Apple is the only one to absolutely nail all four things I care about. Android is doing OK in second place. Windows is not even in the game as far as I'm concerned.

And now with iCloud, Apple has added a 5th category of competition, cloud storage/sharing/access that the others have yet to address. I won't be giving up my iPhone any time soon. Certainly not for a lonely glitchy Windows mobile universe. I like living in a walled garden where everything just works.
