haha, Boz. I'm not on here much, so I went and read his posting history. It's kind of pathetic, all the way back to 2007 posts predicting the iphone being a flop. Is anyone shocked he hated it before it even came out? I wonder what his excuse for that one is... actually no I don't.
What a dumbass. Haters gonna hate.

"As noted by the Financial Times, Apple has officially passed Nokia to become the world's top smartphone vendor. Apple's rapid growth paired with a sharp drop in shipments for Nokia allowed Apple to turn a 5.5 million unit deficit during the first quarter into a 3.6 million unit lead in the second quarter."

"The important part is that even though, all of us might not share the same likes and dislikes or views on things, I really enjoy discussing things about coding, development in general, design and technology, just as long as it’s kept civil."

Apple is going to have to step up their game, and the only thing they need to do is be more flexible in terms of freedom to it's users. Stop being so greedy and think of your audience. Android phones are good, and have a lot of plus sides but if you used both phones chances are you won't feel comfortable w the android system (or maybe you do, it was just my impression)
I had to jailbreak my iPhone in order to tether my laptop, on android is SO EASY to create a network for any computer, I'm actually jealous of that.
Reception on AT&T is a disaster, the verizon move was necessary but they still need to work on competitive prices.
They still have the best OS in my opinion, and that's the only reason for me not switching to android, but they became too controlling and greedy and people are starting to get fed up with it.
The whole flash thing is a scam, I love apple but there is nothing wrong with flash, they are greedy and don't want to include it on their hardware, that's all
- excellent post. honest and true!
flash on single core is tough, but dual core its a piece of piss, cmon apple.Hombre_Lobo
- excellent post. honest and true!

Okay..let's play that silly little statistics game.
Whether or not Apple sells most phones as manufacturer is completely irrelevant. It doesn't really mean squat to consumers or market-share because the two economic models are hugely different in sales.
Yes, Apple chose to close it's platform and offer only 1 phone to be sold. So if their platform does any good they will sell a shit ton of their 1 phone. This will of course pump up the numbers (percentage wise) when compared to any 100s of manufacturers of the opposing platforms but means NOTHING to anyone but marketing and fanboy justification.
It only means that Apple's and iPhone users are severely limited and have absolutely no choices. They have to either buy that one phone or not. And if you chose to be in that eco-system you are pretty much forced to buy that 1 phone from Apple. For better or worse.
On the other hand, Android's market is spread out to huge number of manufacturers and it is logical and economically reasonable not to expect that any of the individual Android smartphone manufacturers will make as much as Apple individually. At least not until this smartphone market is so small. It's growing but it's still very small.
Actually,Android smartphone eco-system is much healthier overall because it fosters competition and creativity. It allows choice and to pick a cheaper Android phone, or mid-range Android phone or high-end Android phone, one with the keyboard, or one with dual screens or completely different designs etc etc and Android's market is diversified. And in that, it's nearly impossible for one manufacturer to be dominant in that eco-system.
As world adopts Android and we see more and more 600-700% growth in various work regions it's only a matter of time before individual Android smartphone manufacturers outpace the number of sold units per phone (compared to Apple) because the number of potential customers grows with the marketshare and once it hold 50-60% of the smartphone world the best Android manufacturers will sell more and more phones, even individually.
We can already see that with Samsung and HTC.. They keep having RECORD profit quarters and amazing growth as well. Samsung alone is selling about half the number of iPhones worldwide with their Android phones. Galaxy S2 alone has sold I think about 3 million a quarter. Just that 1 model of many Samsung smartphones. This is the same reason why Apple is in panic and is suing everyone. They are trying to stop them in selling phones and why their lawsuits specifically request a ban on import.
Naturally the economy also shows that Apple will always have higher profit margin because they don't compete with Android manufacturers in that eco-system. But that's good and bad because if you stay at 10-15% market-share you have no growth. And eventually your users get sick of that one phone you have.
This is why RIM and Nokia had huge success over time. They understood the value of choice and offered several models even within their own eco-system. Nokia held the market because the situation was very different then and people were buying smart-phones based on hardware and what phone was spec-ed and it was very niche market.
Either way, the whole Apple sells more iPhones than any Android manufacturer is hilarious at best and is really 100% marketing and stat whoring that means nothing to anyone but fanboys :)
Reality on the other hand, shows that tracking platform growth is far more important than individual manufacturer sales.
