Among other things, competitors didn't/don't have:

Strategic/systems design thinking
Amazon one-click purchasing
Small-amount credit card aggregation
iTunes Store
FairPlay
Apple stores
Branding
Marketing
Ability to sustain constant R&D costs
Volume component (especially flash) purchasing power
20%-30% margins
Freedom from Microsoft formats and DRM
Best supply chain logistics in the industry
Taste
