Android outsells iPhone when all nations are tallied

Apple's business model has never been about having the most market share (though they'll gladly take their 2/3 share of the tablet market) but of getting the best profits -- Apple gets about 75% of the worldwide smartphone profit, Samsung a little less than 25%, and everyone else a negligible amount.

Apple has always had snob appeal. Kind of gay if you ask me, all that snarky snobby one-upsmanship. Obama should tax those Cupertino one percenters till they scream... raise their taxes through the roof to share the wealth so the po’ and minorities can get their free ObamaFones

That sounds like a reason to buy the stock, but to be suspicious of the product.
