Ehhh.... not in the mood to quote haha hope you don't mind. =P
1. Sorry, I can't find the article I read the other day... here's a not as convincing one
http://www.cultofmac.com/181339/this-is-what-the-original-iphone-4-prototype-looked-like-way-back-in-2006/3. Ehh... it's been around so long it kind of has an old connotation. Plus, their line of computers is Macs so that's why.
4. This could just be me personally, but I don't consider a tablet like a the Microsoft Tablet on par with the iPad or Galaxy Tab 10.1 or anything. Not because it can't do as much (it does more), but because its not really a mobile device. The point of a modern tablet is to be mobile.
5. Eh, I wouldn't exactly call that relevant. The OS looks more like Windows Phone, though we're talking about physical design aspects. Personally, I wouldn't even compare them, since I still believe the iPhone was first. Not first smart phone, but first of its kind.
6. Uhh...
My phone's processor: 1 GHz dual core
Tegra 3 processor: 1.4 (?) GHz quad core
My iMac's processor: 2.7 Ghz quad core
My server's processor: 3.4 Ghz quad core
The desktops have way more power, and have been around longer. They've gotten all the bugs about different screen sizes worked out.
And the iPhone and iPod Touch have the same screen resolution, except the newer models have it doubled on the horizontal and vertical axis... so just double all the graphics. No stretching or anything. Same with the iPad.

a). I'll agree with you there.
b). Not as easily as my existing setup. Look, if I wanted to get it working, I could. But frankly, I'm not a fan of solving problems I can easily avoid.
c). We talking about Android or Samsung phones? Seems we got on a tangent, but I'll talk. I don't hate Android OS. I haven't even used the word Android but twice until this post (Now at five, seven if you count all of them). The resemblance's between the two OSs (Android and iOS) are few. They both have apps on the screen and a dock-type thing at the bottom, but that's been around longer than both of these operating systems. In fact, I rather like it. It's only the complete package Apple provides (device AND software). If Google released it's own phone (NOT partnering with HTC or another manufacturer, but directly through a manufacturer like Foxconn or whatever it uses) I would look into it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on Android (and if it appeared that I did, I didn't mean it). I'm hating on Samsung. And yes, though they make displays for a lot and iOS devices (and I have one of their TV's), that's not why. It's because of their cheap mobile devices.
8. Nothing, I was talking about MY files, not Android's. Not even a filesystem (well, an OS filesystem). Just files for my programs and scripts.
EDIT: Also, Apple just won the trial, and Samsung was hit with a $1.049 billion whopper.
