I think it has a big gadgety appeal. Also brand name. Another thing is movies are a big advertisement for it. People who would elsewise be benign to it's existince learn about it in video stores and such. I think iphoners and people who can't afford them (or are just plain reasonable budget wise), flock to it, which gives it the strong sales it has.
