| Apple has blown it Last week's sales figures provided the world with evidence that Jobs' Mob is getting a good kicking from Samsung and failing to keep up. Since Jobs left the company to go somewhere hot, there have been all sorts of excuses made for the cargo cult's malaise. There have been even attempts by Apple loyalists in the Tame Apple Press to pretend that the company is doing well. The sales figures themselves were poorly reported last week possibly because they showed that Samsung had 32 percent of the global market in Q3, the same share as a year ago. Apple, meanwhile, had only 12 percent of the market, down from 14 per cent a year ago. Apple fanboys have been trying to tell the world+dog that Apple does not need large sales figures or market share because it is flogging expensive phones to rich Americans who do not have much sense. Samsung is selling phones to cost conscious people, particularly in developing markets. If that is true then Apple is really doomed. In other words Apple no longer sells products at price points that appeal to the growth segment of the market. http://news.techeye.net/mobile/apple-has-blown-it |

now add in the fact that Apple makes a tiny bit more per device sold than Samsung, and I'd say they are still pretty much in the running. April 2013 fact is that these companies have enough money; to not be doomed, in our lifetime they will be around, they are not going anywhere soon
