THey give away a lot of phones for market share. Unfortunately most of those phones can not run most of the Apps from the Market...The Win in phones is somewhat dubious. The make cheap crap and give it away model does not translate well to tablets I guess..
Android needs to attract developers. To do that, developers need to be able to make money and only have to develop for one reference spec.
There is a reason not one model of any Android phone outsells the iPhone 3GS today in the US...
You left out that it was the #1 selling handset in the world for 2010. I imagine you will be surprised to learn it also had the highest customer satisfaction rating...
They wick respond, this just became a story again last week, and now some joker filed a lawsuit. The lawsuit will likely prevent any public comment at all.
If you want companies to respond publicly, maybe you should convince the lawyers to stop suing over every little thing.
Lol, so now your short has magically turned into a call option. What's next it is really a long position. Oh wait maybe you own a mutual fund that owns some AAPL. Go ask your teacher for details, you are looking silly.
Unless you have Warren Buffett money cash backing your account, you will not be able to hold an AAPL short of any reasonable size, say 250 shares, beyond the next 60 days. The fact that your short became an option does not change that. It just means you wil be losing whatever you paid for your option contract:). The good news is you can keep your house.
Which contract did you buy, I want to enjoy your misery.
Most of the Android phones sold in 2010 can not run most of the Apps in the market, so since you insist on counting all of them, you might as well count all of the other incompatible stuff too.
Epic will not write for Droid and EA only has about 1/3 or less the Android titles that they do on iOS. Those are major developers. Netflix still does not have an Android version, All of this in spite of the fact that "Android" has had this market share advantage since some time in 2009..
Give it up already, fragmentation is real, it is a HUGE problem that completely eliminates any advantage at all offered by the BS market share numbers we see on "Android"
Except they are not losing, not at all. They have 90% of the app revenue. 50% of industry (not just smartphone) profits and now the largest share of industry revenue. The iPhone 4 was the #1 selling phone of any kind in the world in 2011.
They are losing so bad, it must hurt. Apple is the #1 phone manufacturer in the world by every measure. people try to cobble the incompatible mess of Android into a single thing to try and make some story about market share that simply is not true. It is absurd.
That is silly, Android is not an OS, 1.x and 2.x were widely deployed, mostly non upgradeable, and nearly completely incompatible. Android, if it were a thing had a Marketshare advantage for all of 2010 and Android developers made less then 10% of the revenue iPhone developers made.
IOS is an App platform. Android is a mild,y interesting concept google is finally trying to turn into an App platform.
You obviously never shorted s stock, and are clearly full of crap. There is no limit to the downside on a short, the only thing that will save you from total ruin will be your broker pulling the rug out.
It is clear you know a lot of words and equally clear you have no practical experience.
If you can notbhold an iPad 2 for more than 5 minutes your upper body strength is nit even measurable. Are you really saying your that sad?
Maybe you only tried the misshapen Xoom which is heavier an akward to hold, even so an average 12 year old girl would last more then 5 minutes with it.

You know the agreement is not with Apple don't you?
You left out that it was the #1 selling handset in the world for 2010. I imagine you will be surprised to learn it also had the highest customer satisfaction rating...
Maybe all that other stuff was a tad overblown?
Because knowing your general location maes the gps synch about 100 times faster. (Not exaggerating, if anything I am understating).

It is funny to take TFA out of context and use a year old quote from Apple and pretend like it is a response to the current story.
Just realized what you said :). Fair enough, hope your call is big enough to cover the big loss you are getting on the short.
What did you pay for 340?

Could also be Samsung selling an iPhone clone. ...

Tells me you overvalue anecdotes..
If you don't cover ,you will have a margin call within 60 days.
He may come from Europe and not understand what profit is. (You insensitive clod)
And still after years of this they still profit and maintain complete control over the only worthwhile mobile app platform..
Go figure.
Back to the iPad, that Xoom keyboard is terrible.

Companies actually do poorly when they teller their largest customers to go fuck themselves..
I imagine it is an end-around to put top down pressure for some concessions on their manufacturing contracts.
Really,
List for us all of the suits Apple has filed in the past year that were not countersuits.
Now try Nokia..
Apple has to be geting close to being the most sued company in the world. Your post makes as much sense as Chewbaca wanting to be an Ewok.
If you refuse to make rich man river, you can purchase very litle and limit your entertainment to grammar school plays.
So just your private keys will be leaking into other apps. Good show bucko.
