Samsung employs around 220 000 employees. Apple employs around 60 000 employees. What is your metric to determine company size? Surely not market cap or profit….

Excuse him… He doesn’t believe that more than one product can exist at a time. Let his alone to play with his Kin™.

Strange how all these car makers still exist though.

All you need is ONE right? Because ONE SIZE FITS ALL, right? (I feel your pain dude. You were on the sidelines cheering when Henry Ford said “You can have it in any color you want, as long as its black…”)

Apple is a larger company that any single Android maker. In fact its larger than several of them combined.

It takes a hell of a lot to slide into irrelevance when you’re the second biggest corporation on earth with bigger cash reserves than the United States Federal government. :-)

But he’ll be glowering and hating ll these newfangled contraptions.

25% of those already own an iPhone, 40% already own an Android.
and yet only 47% own a smartphone. are we supposed to believe that nearly 20% of the population owns both an iphone and an android device?

PS take a look at history.. Apple has *never* made sales anything close to what these types of “what will you purchase” studies show. time after time they fall short. if they ever grow past their current ~18% or so of the market I’d be amazed. more likely they will continue their decline.

“everyone knows this”? Who is everyone, according to you?

“apple will simply continue it’s slide into irrelevance”? That’s like saying Facebook will continue its slide into irrelevance.

There are three kinds of Lies – lies damn lies and statistics. Gigaom is an Apple fanboy site everyone knows this I dont doubt that they Cherry picked the “Statistics”. Thankfully most consumers are smarter than this and dont believe apple hype any more. The snartphone race has already been won…by Android apple will simply continue it’s slide into irrelevance

Ice Cream Sandwich will reverse this trend. Android customers are in a holding pattern.
