“All the marketshare in the world doesn’t help if you don’t make much money doing it. BTW, that share is dropping FAST, has been ever since the iPhone appeared. The company’s in a panic now, with calls for the CEO to step down.”
Yes Nokias market share is dropping, just as Apples is although their sales volume is increasing. But we’ve already discussed that.
“If you want to compare, try to compare appropriately.”
The thread is that Apple is the most valuable company in the world (or soon will be). Therefor any comparison involving a specific market or division of a company is is failing to compare apples to apples.
If you want to compare overall, then Apple easily wins. Apple is clearly the most dynamic, innovative company with a solid track record of not only growing fast in its current markets, but of wild success in new markets.
