Nope, Apple's just a fashion accessory...
Underpowered computers being used by people who actually believe the underlying hardware is actually worth what they paid for it, when they could buy exactly the same hardware with Windows or Linux OS for 1/3 the price.
Slap a picture of fruit on it and the Apple fanboys immediately believe it's somehow better that all of the other devices.

yeah but no amount of money will give you a windows- or linux-based OS for your tablet that's at least half as good as the iPad's one for the uses it's been made for.
the iPad's has serious drawbacks (the worst being that you can't really choose what you can use it for because of apple's restriction of apps distibution installation) but other oses won't be able to satisfy the vast majority of tablet consumers before some time...
you can't say that the iphone and ipad are just fashion accessories. usability (the first really usable tactile oses), innovation (the first real appstore that everyone's copying), adapting a device for its users (conversation-based sms system) are real wins by apple from a consumer's point of view.
