By your own definition of mobile devices, it's not even close. Nokia cleans Apple's clock.
The Nokia 5800 is the hottest selling MUSIC player in the EU and Asia (you know, 65% of the world's population). They've sold more than 16 million of them, averaging a million units a month, selling neck-in-neck with the iPod Touch (which is the equivalent product in the Apple lineup).
The N900 is a monster of a mobile computer, with a full touchscreen AND an integrated slide-out keyboard. They're doing 100K units a month, not iPad numbers, but then again it's a smaller device, and their bigger, MeeGo based unit will be out later this year.
And as we've seen above, Nokia simply owns the cell phone markets - smart and regular. No contest with anyone else.
Nokia makes phones, music players, and internet appliances (which is what the iPad is). They compete in the same spaces as Apple. And they totally dominate Apple in sales.
But yes, Apple makes things pretty! They just don't sell as many of them as you claim. How you can still believe Apple dominates mobile devices is a mystery...
The Nokia 5800 is a phone? Or a music device?
I just looked it up. The Nokia 5800 is a phone. Does Nokia make mobile music devices like an iPod? Do they make netbooks?
Does any one company make smartphones, music players and netbooks?
Apple’s computers do not drive the company and have not for many, many years. The company broke out with the successful release of the iPod, then extended it with the iPhone. And lately with the iPad.
I don’t see other companies doing this.

Their products are pretty, pretty expensive.
