Apple and Google are currently at the top of the mobile device heap, but both companies are vulnerable at the moment. Apple has lost its iconic CEO and appears to be chasing Samsung, and you can’t lead by following. Samsung is the dominant player on Android, but Google and Samsung are having relationship problems. Both have been quietly expressing dissatisfaction with the other. No other vendor — except possibly LG or Lenovo — appears truly ready to replace Samsung should it abandon the platform.
How can anyone think that a phone that looks like it came from the movie "back to the future" would be a hit, buttons on phone are a thing of the distant past, tiny screens on big phones are just not practical and if he thinks that Blackberry will succeed by attracting female buyers with a red phone with buttons he is a severe Alzheimer sufferer. The war is won, Android is victor, Apple will keep making billions with their great niche products, but the rest will sink without trace it is just how long they will keep flailing about before someone just buries them.
