Nicely worded. The Macalope doesn't usually jab people for simple typos, but in your case he'll make an exception.

In doing so, Jobs created the "mobile boom" which lead to the development of more mobile consumer gadgets. This boom caught the industry on the hop and it has been slow to find an answer. This is mostly because rivals lacked the slick marketing and the fanatical Apple fanboy base and Tame Apple Press which Apple cultivated.

Uh-huh. The same press that declared a new iPhone killer every week? The same press that continues to declare a new iPad killer every week? The same press that said Apple was doomed because it didn't introduce a crappy netbook? The same "fanatical Apple fanboy base" that's probably now mostly made up of people who were using Windows just a few years ago? Clearly, it couldn't be the fact that Apple's products are just than everyone else's.

They couldn't be! The Xoom is 4G-ready!

So far no one has managed to replicate Jobs' success at this and it is not for a lack of technology.
