And yet media and everyone keep craming iCrap down our throats. It's not a smartphone, its an iPhone to them... It really irks me when they refer to all smartphones as iPhones. It might have made sense like saying Google for search, for a year or so... but why now? They are one of many competitors in the market, with sales showing nothing special about them now that they can't artificially own the market.
This just shows what happens to Apple when they have to actually compete, and really explains why they have been so aggressive with mobile lawsuits as of late. Look at their shrinking market share, and where the majority of their profits come from, and its easy to see why Apple needs to be so aggressive from a business standpoint. They are literally a couple of flopped devices from going from #1 to almost out of the game... Apple is in a tough position to hold on to their image of being the device... Competition could literally kill Apple. (unlikely, but possible, when you look at things...)
