Mobile platforms are an extremely active battleground right now, though.

What, you mean because for the first time ever we actually have not one, but two decent, modern operating systems for consumer-marketed phones? Both of which make applications (a HUGE source of revenue for Apple) simple to develop and simple to buy? Palm's WebOS never really took off strongly, and Blackberries are... blackberries. Good in some ways, bad in others, and full of zero competition in their market.
