Again I'm struck by this: The primary difference between those who think apple is a problem and those who don't, is that those who think apple is a problem believes that in the current market, only Apple makes stuff people actually use.
The day Siemens or Philips or Sony release a TV-with-internet with a User Interface experience that isn't worth socking someone in the face for is the day hell freezes over. Good lord, those idiots can make some crappy UX. Other than that, you've completely missed the point, so I suggest you reread the OP, or, better yet, the blogpost linked in the first comment, that one is slightly more to the point.
