I had to chuckle when I read this. I hope I never work for you... I can't imagine the level of expectation you would place on me.
Apple is a relative newcomer to the smart-phone market. They've basically released one iteration of one phone and are just now approaching 1 year in the market. Already you expect them to have a lion share of that market. The iPod didn't get 80% of the mp3-player market its first year or even its second. It took several years.
I know some people seem to hate Apple (heck, I hate Apple in some ways), but that doesn't mean I'm going to pretend that jumping into a market and grabbing 20% in the first year isn't impressive.
