Fourth quarter mobile phone industry overview | asymco
via asymco.com
Check out these three charts. Apple's market share of the mobile phone market is increasing a bit (as is Samsung's, and particularly "other"s), but note the third chart: profit shares of the top eight vendors. This is similar to what Microsoft and Intel did to the PC biz back in the '90s .... Apple is sucking up all the *profits* in the biz. Samsung, RIM (Blackberry) and HTC are holding their own, barely, but everyone else is getting clobbered.
