Yup, that’s why Samsung is 15th on this list. Seems I’ve got to scroll down quite a bit before I see Apple. What number are they?

Wikipedia Chart:
109 Apple Inc. Electronics $65.225[123] September 25, 2010 ((Market Cap) $189,802 (billion) - NASDAQ: AAPL Cupertino, California, United States Steve Jobs

Apple's ACTUAL market cap, as of 06/07/2011: $307.06 Billion source Yahoo Finance.

We were talking about CELL PHONE PROFITS, not profits of a conglomerate in total that manufactures everything including earthmoving equipment and sea going cargo ships! Samsung's phone division is barely making a profit in phones overall and just breaking even money in the smartphone market! Here is a chart showing the last quarter overall results of PROFITS (the large orange box is Apple's 57% share of the entire cell phone market profits!) with only Apple, RIM, and HTC accounting for 75% of the profits...

Actually, we were talking about other manufacturers being jealous of Apples profits. I’m thinking that Samsung’s CEO isn’t going to be looking to trade places with Jobs anytime soon.

And don’t be jealous that Samsung is a much broader company and can do more than just make iProducts. LOL

Speaking of phones though, Apple currently has no answer to the Galaxy S II. None. That phone can run circles around the IP4.
