If so would you let me know – I’m an old friend from back in Charlottesville, VA.

He has no vision and no sense of his own market. I am quite sure he has a browning picture of the first Razr in his office and nothing but blind hop for the future. The Tundra has been called “klunky” and “unattractive” ….it is really RUGGED – something many want. So what does Brown do? He markets it like a tomato.

That group is also losing jobs as quickly as it is losing money, and employee morale has never been lower. Look at the numbers for SE, they are also dismally low since they have been letting employees go left and right. Apple on the otherhand is the toast of the industry, and the only thing cooler than having an Apple iPhone is to be working for them.

The real story here is the low numbers for LG. I don’t understand why their CEO approval rating is only 20% when they have been doing so well in the market. Perhaps that score is weighted down by LG’s performance in their other business lines. Like Samsung, they are very diversified beyond the handset industry.

p.s. Which reminds me…where are the Samsung numbers in that report? They are only the second largest handset manufacturer after the almighty Nokia.
