There is no such thing as a "generic application for the rest of the major brands"; you need to get the app to run on a bunch of different devices which may have different processors/OSes, and then have each cell provider - not manufacturer - approve the device for use on their cell network.

iPhone: standard platform, one organization to approve the app, 30 million customers. (Counting iPod touches, which can also run this.)

A big reason why the iPhone has been successful is because it manages to create a software distribution process that doesn't cause your sanity to run out your ears.
