- Ewan notes Apple's increasing 'mind-share dominance' which exists quite separate to their market share.
- Rafe longs for beautiful hardware and innovation in material sciences.
- Ben notes it's the networks preventing people from painlessly operating several handsets, switching according to occasion.
