They did it all the time; swiping data and even processes from screen to screen - especially nice when they dumped something from a big screen to a small, pad-like unit. (Or vice versa).
Similar things have been done in other shows, but it was very nicely done in SA. Obviously, iSteve is a fan.
I may be wrong, but if I remember correctly, Matt Asay was always pro-Apple.
So what I think, is that he actually wanted his son to have an iPhone, but couldn't find the right argument to deny the kid an Android.
And when he finally found the right argument - money - he also found the stuff for a new column.

The analysis is OK, except for one thing. It's not about the strategy of Apple's competition, it's about Apple's own strategy.
Apple is the only company with a userbase so loyal that they basically will buy their every new product. Thus, it's the only company that's assured not to lose.
As long as they can deliver new products, they will make tons of money. But they will have to deliver faster and faster...
