I bet ya said that about iPhone too...

Still waiting for the iPhone to break out of 3rd place in the Smartphone market...;) It's well behind Nokia and Blackberry, and is now being eclipsed by Android.

And in the bigger scheme of things - the entire cell phone market - Apple is WAY down the list, being surpassed by Nokia, RIM, Samsung, Motorola, Sony, HTC, and many others.

Media infatuation and market share do not necessarily go hand in hand. Witness the iPhone, for example...;)

We've had this debate. And now you are right back to LYING again!!

For the love of Jesus will you knock it off ???

You cannot just pick and choose what demographics suit you. Lies, damn lies and statistics.

Chart one is the 2010 SMART PHONE market share via Nielson NATIONALLY. 28% for iPhone. More than 3 TIMES Android and 2nd place and rising.

Why leave THIS out? Because it doesn't fit with your FUD?

This isn't something you do not know. This isn't something new. This graphic has been posted 20 times or more.

So STOP TWISTING everything!!!

The second chart is where you get your 14% and 3rd place. But then you make it sound like poor Apple stuck in 3rd and you are waiting for them but they are going no where.

Nowhere except they NEARLY DOUBLED in 1 year from 8% to over 14%

You make this ludicrous smug post when the facts are entirely against everything you purport them to be saying.

Apple is only 2 years into this cycle and is 14% at 2009 year end. RIM is 10 years old and falling fast. Nokia is 12 years old in the smart phone business.

So how can you even live with yourself being so smug and condescending, when Apple has gone from 0% to 2nd or 3rd nationally and world wide in 2 years in a platform totally alien to what everyone thought they could learn? How can you even think if you even think, to suggest that there is NO RISK to Xbox, Sony, et all if and when Apple enters the gaming system market?

Any reasonable person would say that if Apple did in that market what they have done in these other markets, 15% or 30% over night in 2 years time, that it would be the BIGGEST THREAT of which they could conceive.

But not you, oh no. You have the audacity to claim that Apple hasn't done jack and is no threat even in the smartphone market.

This is why I refuse to even try to be nice with you.

You just flat out LIE and Manipulate everything with no moral compass or shame.

Non-player to a strong third place in three years. Not bad at all, especially considering that Apple only sells phones with AT&T in the US.

And in the bigger scheme of things - the entire cell phone market - Apple is WAY down the list

Apple doesn't care about the entire cell phone market, just like Apple doesn't care about the budget computer market. There's more profit margin in the high-end.

Media infatuation and market share do not necessarily go hand in hand.

Market share and profits do not necessarily go hand in hand. See Dell, big market share, poor profits. Apple is going for the profits, which is what companies are supposed to do. What use is a big market share if it doesn't make you much money?
