re #2, dominance is an interesting word, and it can mean a few different things. In terms of percentages of devices in pockets, I believe Android (including all versions) as an OS is doing better than iOS as an OS. In terms of physical smart phones, I think Apple's phones are in more pockets than any other specific manufacture with their name on the box. In terms of raw profit in the smartphone industry, Apple dominates. In terms of people using smartphones like smartphones (downloading apps and using them, actually browsing the internet) instead of like dumbphones (phone calls / txting etc), I believe iOS still dominates (more people use Mobile Safari than they use Android Browser et al). Manufacturing dominance is an interesting one. Lots of parts for iPhones are made by Samsung, but does that mean Samsung controls iPhone sales? Could Samaung halt iPhone production if they wanted too, or could Apple just go to someone else (with a ramp-up delay presumably). (I own a Samsung android phone and am happy with it, in case this post comes off pro apple and people wonder about my "allegiances" [because apparently everyone must have one])
