Building a good phone is fricking hard. I used to work for a defunct chip company that tried to build a phone chipset. There are so many things involved in making for a good user experience. You gotta put a lot of time and a lot of money into it. Apple is arrogant. They think you can just buy a chipset, plop it in your device, and voila. A working phone. Just like an iPod. Just slap it together. Ain't so. Apple will have to pay their dues just like all the other phone makers out there.
