>> What's the infatuation with performance in a cell phone?
Assuming you're talking about GPU performance: Apple cares a lot about GPU performance because iOS uses the GPU heavily for a lot of tasks - all the animations, transitions, blurring and blending effects that you see are executed on the GPU, mostly via CoreAnimation.
Also, there are new games and other applications that are pushing GPU requirements to near desktop-class. For example, the Infinity Blade demo that was shown during the launch.
I think a lot of people care about having enough GPU performance to enable all of these.
