Xiaomi may soon take its first steps into the U.S. How will it do? I have some suggestions to offer. If it follows them, its chances of success will increase. If it doesn’t, it may face the same problems that have dogged Microsoft, BlackBerry, Motorola, HTC and many others. Wireless in the U.S. is a booming business, but it’s not easy to break into the space as a handset maker. Apple’s iPhone and Android devices like Samsung’s Galaxy line have been big winners to date, claiming roughly 80-90 percent market share.
