Unfortunately, most organizations and even start ups still start with a list of features or things they want to build. People don’t consume features. They experience activities that add to their lives.
This is why Apple has been so successful. They build a product to solve a problem and make our experience better. Consumers may not understand that’s what happening, but when they use an Apple product, they immediately get it.
Apple makes the difficult look very easy. There’s a lot going on under those simple-to-use apps, but they hide all of that from us so we can just get things done.

…Product?

Until Apple solves the ability for their iPhone/iPad be able to join a wireless Wi-Fi, other than the 2.4 version of the N wireless network
You are complaining about a spec. If Apple adds a second transmitter so it can connect to 5GHz wifi, the battery will suffer. And I’m willing to bet that 2.4GHz Wifi is still faster than your broadband connection, so why make battery life suffer just to satisfy a spec? And those who have 5GHz Wifi but not N are an insignificant number of people.
This is what Apple gets, and other companies don’t. Don’t make experience suffer to satisfy a spec checklist.
The iPad supports 5 GHz 802.11n and has since the very first version. That’s what I use with it at home.
Honestly, I never checked my own because it doesn’t really matter to me. But the iPad does have a big battery to power an additional 5GHz transmitter and antenna – much bigger than the iPhone or iPod Touch. There’s a reason the smaller devices don’t support 5GHz – battery life. And it could be space constraints for the second antenna and transmitter too.
