Mark your analysis is the most stupid one I have ever read. Your lack of analytical skills is truly suprising specially after seeing data for the iPhone 4 run rate. With all the press regarding the attenna issue Apple is still selling out on the phone with a 3 week waiting period. Their sales for the next quarter are going to be off the charts. I don’t know where you are getting your information regarding Nokia but their own CEO has announced that they are on trouble and have had failures with their new OS used on the N900 and the aging symbian is no match for iPhone OS. I think you shoul find another job and leave the analytics to someone else

@Kevin, I see that you have neatly twisted Asymco’s conclusions about how, apart from the massive Apple slice, only RIM and Nokia with their self contained systems are making some profits.

Obviously the loss makers are targeting Android as a last ray of hope, for some immediate relief. But this is unsustainable in the long run being a race to the bottom.

“Apple’s market share has peaked”

Based on what? As Apple expands it’s carrier portfolio (including Verizon in the US) and opens up new territories it’s market share will go up.

Also, new hit products like the iPad have a halo effect onto its older products. And where Apple is concerned, the hits keep coming.

One wonders if Apple can continue with this momentum.

“Simpleton analysis is focused on market share but the smartphone market is NOT the emerging PC market in the late 1980′s”

Actually it is.
