Let’s see this chart re-visited 5 years from now.

The one thing we know about the mobile industry is that it is fast-changing and today’s winner is not tomorrow’s winner.

PS: You left HTC off (since they just broke into the top 10 device manufacturers). Watch them.

I actually disagree with this analysis. The author is failing to see that Android has become a very mature platform and that people are flocking to it in droves. The same forces that pushed Apple so fast are clearly at work over recent months in pushing people to Android. It’s the OS that is becoming important, not the manufacturer. This author makes the same mistake that happened during the Apple/Microsoft battles of the 80s. Apple had the major share of the business market with their hardware, but Microsoft won with their OS. The hardware manufacturer is irrelevant so long as devices are “cool” or “unique”.
