Phones v planes
It is not normally my place to venture any opinions but at least on this one I think I can do it safely. I worked for Nokia and for them the game was about engineering to cost and producing very large numbers of very cheaply built phones in huge variety with nice profit margins. Each model was aimed at a particular price point and "type" of person. They were built with the latest "cheap" technology rather than the latest "powerful" tech.
Then someone built a phone that was *much* more expensive to build, e.g. had the latest 600mhz processor which was unheard of, and they had *only one model to fit everyone* and it didn't actually do much more or was inferior in some technical areas (no 3G support, multitasking) but the horsepower and expensive bits enabled them to make it easy to use ....
Hence it's not the analogy that I think one wants to support a point about numbers or cheapness.
