The author of that retort redefines "sour grapes". Every quote on that blog is dripping with Apple-is-god and Android-is-horrific.

In short, it's the kind of tripe he claim's the CNN article is, and it's absolutely unsubstantiated fanboy drivel.

The way the author casually condescends the digitized stylus and larger size -- features that drove 15,000,000 sales in under a year -- reminds me of Apple itself, who likely also writes off this entire market segment.

Honestly, when you get this kind of a vulgar response to your article, you know you're hitting on a nerve.

And I agree with the original article: Apple's software has been playing catchup for multiple versions, isn't introducing novel features and is barely keeping up with the competition.

I agree because I recently ditched iOS for Android for this very reason!
