Good question. IMO, your question can be simplified by the exclusion of Windows.

I wonder, if there really is a good answer that will evolve from Android and or 
the various other flavours of Linux (reluctantly, I'm counting out Symbian, too, 
after a while).

Part of the problem is that the answer needs to come from a large organisation, 
and existing large organisations are simply nowhere near as innovative as Apple, 
at the present time. They are actually, completely unaware of why Apple is 
successful, let alone capable of duplicating or exceeding their success.

But, yeah. Computing is changing.

Way cool.
