    Anonymous, 13 Dec 2012Can't argue with that. It's true: Samsung + HTC + Motor... moreif what you said is right, that the android community isn't very much concerned that all those services shd convert to money, then isn't that good to hear? at least some people think of putting providing useful, FREE service before profits in their priorities. what's wrong with free? if google's not worried who shd be? or is this some bitterness against the android community bcoz we get these for less and most of the times free?

        May be apple is pioneer in introducing smartphones. But google is the one that popularised smart phones through android. They brought the technology in to the hands of middle class and poor . May be they earn less than apple but they wont mind . Even they would be proud to earn less by giving more. Android devices are best value for money today.

            Even if u combine apple and samsung's sale it wont be even close to disney....... n where did disney come in to the picture

            And samsung earns much more than apple its the biggest electronics company in the world right now......who the hell says apple earns more

            Apple is in such poor conditions after death of Mr. Jobs that it is suing samsung and other android powered mobile companies for money in the name of innovation and patent.

            Apple is nothing in front of samsung

            PLzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz get ur facts cleared

              zzzzzz. of course your winning Mr. Schmidt. You have 50 companies using yoru o.s. you guys are focusing on the "pie" while apple is strickly focusing on profits.

              You tell me what the hell is working. Sure you guys have more market share, good for you. Is it really worth bragging about?

              apple makes more money then Samsung, HTC, LG, and Disney combined. Not even close. Google ceo getting cocky. Wait til we were apples q4 stats. Gonna blow some minds away.

                Whatever u guys say u cannot prove that ip5 is better than sgs3.......by just saying "Apple is Apple" (read in a comment on another news on this site) u cant prove it plz give us a better excuse or reason to prove ur point......just dont blindly support apple

                And one more thing iphone is only doing well in usa coz people there are crazy about apple.... they blindly select ip5.... every where apple is very less in quantity

                              It's no good to say which is better if you're standing on one side of the field only. both have their own +ves and -ves.

                              Look at the bright side, android smartphones sure save our budget. while apples, you know.. apples.

                              Don't worry blackberry, you'll get into the spotlight too... later.

                                have to admit that in market yes android have a bigger space but talking about stability,quality and the perfomance, iOS is always one step ahead of android. personal suggestion is to make android more stable and easy to maneuver and toggle around...tq

                                        It really doesn't matter that Android is on more phones than iPhone's iOS... what matters most is people are buying more Androids now than they did before. Android's market share is increasing at the expense of iOS. That tells me 1, that Android will engulf iOS in the near future. Also, if you want to compare just 1 Android handset with Apple's iPhone, no problem! Galaxy S III or the Note II. Choose your poison vs the iPhone. Each device by itself blows out the iPhone 5.
