AND while open source is cool and all, the reason why Apple has such a hold over the market is because they realize they have such an amazing thing with their operating system and they decide to only put it on their phones, their computers, etc.
They make a quality product and make people come to THEM and them alone to get it.

I'm a hardcore Apple user and I'm first to admin that with under 30% marketshare, they really don't have a "hold" onanything, PC or Mobile.
That said, you are right about the OS. They do have a great GUI (though I can already put the same thing on any Windows Mobile phone). The biggest drawback with the iPhone is that they're tied to one carrier. Apple is leaving a lot on the table by only making their product available to about 27% of those already paying for cellphone service.
