Watch your language. Push it and you will get reported.

who insist that black is white, when all the facts and figures say it's black.

FACT: Apple is one manufacturer with one line of high-end phones on a limited number of carriers.

FACT: Android ships on multiple phones from all but two of the other MAJOR phone manufacturers.

FACT: Apple blew past all of those other manufacturers in less than a year of sales (actually, about six months).

FACT: United together under a common platform, those other companies are now regaining their combined share of the market.

You would so love to be able to portray Apple as a loser, but it's not happening. Apple and Android are winners. Palm is all but dead, WinMo is barely hanging on, and RIM and Nokia are scrambling to hold on to their crumbling dominant marketshares.

I am sure you would. When you are getting badly beaten, you are usually reduced to go crying to mama. Nothing new about that. You do that, and I report you right back.

FACT: Apple has been making consumer products for as long as anyone can remember, including the similar form factor Apple Newton, long before Google was even founded.

FACT: Google had never even written an OS before, let alone a smartphone OS.

FACT: Google has never made or sold any consumer product in their entire lives.

FACT : Within just 2 year after introdsicng Android, Google has managed to overtake not just the iPhone, its also overtaken the RIM in the US market, and is on track to overtake RIM in this quarter when the quarterly figures for Q3 come out.

FACT: There have been plenty of mobile Linux versions out there, with the self same big firms like Samsung, Motorola, TI, Qualcom etc behind them, and they went nowhere. Android came out just 2 years ago, and swiftly took over in record time. It's unprecedented.

FACT: Before Android, Apple had never been able to outsell RIM in even a single quarter before. The iPhone has not even been close. And the Iphone was out quite a bit before Android came out.
