At least it's a reasonable number and reasonably comparable to the stats of other cars. The horsepower numbers are under the ideal dyno conditions with the ideal fuel, specific tuning, lowest weight, etc.
But at least they are reasonable and not theoretical maximums of the technology that the infrastructure itself could never hope to ever reach.

But who, in the general public, buys a phone based on cellular technology? Aren't most people buying based on app availability? Angry Birds surely trumps whether its 4G, LTE, or Mrs Butterworth under the hood, doesn't it?

Believe it or not, the general public buys into the hype for speed. Many people I know are unhappy with the speed of the internet on their mobile devices (which often has to do with the actual power of the device). They look at those numbers and go with whomever has the fanciest looking and "newest" technology and claims the best speeds because they assume it will let Facebook load faster or whatever.
