Hi, 27 May 2016it's funny people commenting in this post is are indirectly... more"Journey of thousand miles start with single step."
It is just starting.today its foxconn,tomorrow it will be Microsoft then Samsung then apple then Google then Sony....The list is just started.
If only 100 companies of world take same step,by average 20000 employee/company ,u can guess how big number it is.
And its not a thought it will be reality in next 5 years.

The excuse is to "focus the attention on other more important fields..." bla bla bla. They aren't selling as much as before as people is finally understanding there are several brands that really offer what they are charging on a device.
