This isn't necessary, and cheapens a good point.
> This deal now creates a solid competitor to Samsung.
Samsung has solid competitors with strong global brands. You have Sony, which has been around for a long time. You also have LG, HTC, and a lot of other lesser known brands. You have Amazon, BN in the Tablet space.
Not sure what the cheap shots at Apple and Apple fans have to do with this discussion.

- michaelcampbell 13y agoThen maybe you could have just ignored it; you effectively Streisand Effected it for me with 2 of your 3 paragraphs devoted to that.
- vidarh 13y agoSome quick searches indicates that Huawei and LG have ~4-5% of the market each, and Sony and HTC around 7% or so each. Meanwhile Samsung is above 30% Motorola + Lenovo has a shot at 11%-12%. So no, Samsung doesn't really have any really solid competitors. Especially given that most of the above are not making much - if any - money on their Android phones at the moment.
