… like computers have

I mean, you can get an apple one, or a pc (or laptops equivalents) and (pretty much) you can install whatever OS you want and update software whenever you like, despite ongoing “Improvements” to new hardware

phones arms race, on the other hand seems typified by every new iteration of “our best phone” having features & software that older ones may never get (unless someone cooks up their own bodge)

I’m guessing the market will grow up one day – soon ?

Just after the imminent release of the iPhone 5. It’s going to change everything, I mean, really. It’s like your whole life has been waiting for it. You’ll be able to tell everyone about it and show them all your apps in the pub!
