Great product and all, but I wouldn't even consider getting an iPhone simply because of the fact that they regulate and prohibit stuff like a bunch of Nazis.

While all of these are reasons that appeal to me, someone technically inclined, I have to wonder if the population in general cares about any of it.
A lot of people I know when it comes to phones think "oooh shiny!" rather than considering its technical capabilities, especially as it relates to potential future use.
The iPhone still has that cool factor that is going to appeal to most people. I think for something like the Android to unseat the iPhone from its throne its going to have to take advantage of the Apple Nazis and put out some really cool apps that can't (or won't) exist on the iPhone, and get some marketing behind it.
