Apple's iPhone sales alone just surpassed Nokia's -- http://www.9computerstore.com/2011/04/22/apple-tops-in-hands... -- and that's only talking about the phone part. It's not taking into the (in my opinion) the much more important iPod Touch through iPad market, which the Android has no answer to at all on the low end and no really contenders on the upper end.

If smart-phones was actually the market that we were talking about, the fact that my iPhone sucks balls for making actual phone calls would matter.



It's getting close to Samsung putting out a competitor to the iPod Touch. I believe it's already out in Korea. http://www.mobiletechnews.com/info/2011/04/07/104922.html


iPhone passed Nokia in terms of smartphone sales in dollar terms. Apple does not ship more units than Nokia.

It's quite amazing really, that Apple comes in as a late entrant and shaves all the massive profits off the top, leaving the rest of the market to fight over less profitable items.
