There are over 20 world class Android vendors led by HTC, Samsung, Motorola, Wahwei, Sony, LG, etc. each of whom can singlehandedly supply hundreds of millions of top notch smartphones far cheaper and superior to anything Rim can ever offer. Apple will always strive to capture the 55%+ profit market segment unwilling to become a mass commodity merchandise. Apple’s sweet spot is 27.5%, no more.

The Asian brands like Samsung, LG, HTC will overrun Rim. Anyone seen any RCA lately?

Motorola then Samsung provided volume and quality superior to Rim in successfully taking Rim customers away for good. It takes time but Android is now firmly entrenched as the Rim killer burying Rim in rapid manners.

iPhone remains the premium smartphone of the world. Apple maintains the golden standard as Rim fizzles out silently in the insignificant offshore markets.
