    Not surprised. there is an equivalent of 120 android phones to every 1 iphone model. But apple is far from gone. Sorry fandroids. I feel more sorry for windows phone. Windows plattform >>>>> android

              I agree with someone here that people in usa are addicted to apple products, without even knowing what to do with them (most of the people). even here in my country they see it like a toy :))). that sold out Iphone4 and updated to 4S, just to tell the other that they have 4S, that's all, :) it is just ridiculous!

              If you go deeper you see the limitless opportunities of android. It is fantactic to have such a device in your hands. even 4" device is much better that iphone 5. but there is no way to compare 4.3" devices and above to Iphones. Just another category

                no wonder they saw increase in US market... people there are so fond of apple even though they don't know what it actually does... while in other countries, people know what a smartphone should be like and hence no major increase in the market share... US.. LOL... this proves something about americans... well, don't want to comment here to start a war!!!

                  MeeGo Takeover, 31 Oct 2012MeeGo will come in and dominate. I can't waitMeeGo? Already had one MeeGo phone, the N9, it was noting compared to Maemo5 (N900). Nokias mistake was not to kill MeeGo, but to kill Maemo5 in favor of MeeGo. I believe MeeGo was born dead.

                    As a general feeling, I believe that a smartphone can run only Android or iOS, because WP is simply no good on a device that small. It isn't organized like on your pc or laptop, because it lacks the space to do so, and that's why when I see a WP UI I don't know where to start from. That's why Android and iOS devices are rivals, and WP can't simply enter this rivalry.

                              I think iphone5 doesn't make a big interest, if we see the hits on this page, now iphone only got 36,346 hits a day (only just passed a month). We will see in 4th quarter a slowdown in global market. (sorry for my english)

                                maybe the loss of Android in US is the patent they have won against samsung. How I wonder if apple lost on that, they might might not have that figure.
