Xbit, being a hardware site, only views the industry through the prism of hardware. Their loss.

Reading this article shows what a distorted prism it is, too. Did you catch the claim that Linux cell phones were 8.1% of the market? Did Android suddenly gain more phones?

I have never seen a Linux (smart)phone out in the wild. Plenty of RAZRs or el cheapo Samsung flip phones, quite a number of iPhones and Blackberries, but never a Linux-based phone. Not even a G1. Of course, South Florida isn't the entire globe, which is the perspective this author writes from.

What I find strange is his premise that Apple's global market share is small, but that the American press covers Apple product announcements extensively. Could it be because Apple is increasing its influence in the American market, Mr. Shilov? Sony is very blatant about their copying Apple's aesthetics and computer concepts...

Umm Android is not the only Linux based Mobile OS out there. You are spreading your own FUD.
