Post your comments for Apple and Samsung are now top mobile device makers here

[thewazak]

You lot just can't help mentioning Apple!
Not only do you name drop - but you put Apple first in the title!
Samsung is the clear leader: get over it!
The title should read:
"Samsung is top mobile device maker. Apple way behind"
But it would break your iHeart, wouldn't it?

I guess A comes before S. lol
I agree with you though.

Clear leader of what? The number of gadgets sold? What about customer satisfaction? Nope, Apple is the clear leader there. Developer interest? Nope, again it's Apple. Presence on the web? Apple by every survey there is. Ad revenue? Apple again. Profit? Nope.

I think you are the one who needs to get over it. Your precious Samsung is just a Korean ripoff outfit.

Well, to be fair and honest, Samsung is more than a ripoff outfit, even though recent verdicts certainly support that claim

They do, as one awkward example, manufacture the A4-A6x chips that are at the heart of all of Apple's smart devices. Sure they are Apple's designs, but Apple has maintained that relationship throughout the other litigation and seen 4 major upgrades to their chipset in 2012 alone. I don't think a company that is nothing more than a ripoff outfit could have collaborated with such staggering output of innovation (or at least evolution) in so short a period of time without having some very strong qualities.

This particular article had nothing whatsoever to do with the points you make.
I only addressed the gist of the article.
I rest my case: get over it, fanbois!

I get my technical news elsewhere from PCWorld (or IDG), unfortunately. Too much bias and spin from brown-nosing pro-Apple editors here.

Anybody else with more journalistic integrity (or less financial dependency on AAPL) would merely convey simple facts. Not spun-up biased opinions. That isn't really too hard to find.

For example:

At least, it is now a fact that Apple's RDF has its limits. After witnessing more than USD $156 billion evaporate from the AAPL market cap in record time. (That too is a first.)



Speculators are greedy and gullible in nature, but may not be that stupid to fall for the same old propaganda, forever.

As evidenced by the stock markets:

And that is after the release of the iPad mini, and iPhone5.

Now we're breaking into new territory: The AAPL stock has officially reached Death Cross status.
