You do realize that there is no smartphone dominance of apple, right? It's basically RIM (US) and Nokia(rest of the world) that are dominating.

- kevinholesh 17y agoIf you're looking solely at market share. Look at the profits from smartphones and Apple is dominating.
- raquo 17y agoMy girlfriend has a Nokia E55. It is not even remotely close to iPhone and Androids in terms of functionality and ease of use, and still most market share studies will categorize it as a smartphone. And its OS also barely changed since 4 years ago when I had a similar device.
- eru 17y agoiPhone have a lot of mind share, though.
- CamperBob 17y agoNobody gives a crap about phones for which nobody buys apps. That would be.... all of them, except the iPhone.
- buster 17y ago"nobody"? I was just mentioning it, because i am sick of seeing people sucked into that apple marketing dream and telling it over and over again. Let's take the whole mobile phone market as measurement. The iphone is still only used by the vast minority, yet it feels like apple users are caught by all that marketing and buzz around apple they reject reality. Yes, of course, the iPhone has the appstore, it's good hardware and software and shiny and usable and so on. But the reality is STILL that it's a minority. The reality is that the big old mobile companies have still enough money, resources and potential customers to get. It's just not that Nokia is making all the fuzz around this as the press does about apple. Steve Jobs farts, press coverage instantly. It's sick.
