I would assume that there is a lag between when people invest in R&D and when people see results.

In 10 years if we see Microsoft and Nokia get there groove back, it will probably be a result of such heavy spending.

Additionally, 2% of Apple's income is far more than 10% of many other companies

Agreed. It would be useful to see Apple's r&d spending in absolute and historic terms.
