It's all about marketing. You buy the thing that has the best marketing, not the best thing. That's how Apple replaced all these other smartphone vendors.

This is a very narrow and simplistic view on the extremely complex topics of market dynamics and consumer behaviour.
Also, utterly wrong. The iPhone is very good at being a phone + lots more.
Marketing can get you a leap and a start, but if the product isn't at least usable, it'll die out.
Anyone should be able to bring to mind giant marketing blitz for products that died horribly.
