It occurred to me that we all have some sort of mental problem. Mine is small compared to a certain pink-assed twat who sent me yet another unwanted
Thanks or confirming - what are you going to do about it, now? Harsh language? Pout?

It is simply a move to try to stop market share loss, and it will fail this coming holiday season, as there is nothing new in the package to entice buyers.
I really wish you (and others like yourself) would stop trying to sound authoritative making these "predictions". Especially since you'll end up eating crow 60 days from now - though I have a feeling you'll be a lot more mature about having been incorrect than Localguy (who is apparently descending into Republican-like anger and denial now that his "Apple's share this quarter will tumble" prediction turned out to be wrong, with Apple's share actually growing.)

Both of you seem to be terrible at looking at history and understanding the combined market dynamic. Then again, as long as you keep confusing "shipping" and "sales", your mistakes and misconceptions will continue.
Do the math, if you can - if out of every 3 million shipped tablets, Samsung only sells less than 40,000 - what does that make their market share? If out of every 2.5 million shipped phones, Samsung only sells 220,000, how does that translate into *real* market share numbers?

Yes, koolbreez, you're right - this holiday season will prove to be devastating. Let's see what kids want, percentage-wise, for this Christmas:
http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/consumer/u-s-kids-continue-to-look-forward-to-iholiday/
48% want an iPad.
36% want an iPad mini.
33% want an iPhone.
31% want a computer (which by the latest news, it would seem that 44% of those want it to be a Mac)
while, further far down that list:
16% want a Samsung smartPhone
9% want a Galaxy Tab
Yeah, you're right - Apple is only trying "will fail this coming holiday season". Devastating, I'm sure.

No anger here, believe me. My strongest emotion as I sit here in Pattaya is wishing I could please more TG's. So many of them, and just one of me 
But, hey, about that prediction... In September (here and here) I predicted that Apple's tablet market share would drop from the 69% achieved in Q2. It did. Google it or read DG's 20 November post if you want.
"Tumble" - I'm mis-quoted (surprise!) as having used that word. I never did, but perhaps using it wouldn't have been too much of an exaggeration.
"Eating crow 60 days later" - not the case. It's almost exactly 60 days later, and I have decided that everything I eat today will either taste like turkey or smell like fish.

I guess you had to crawl back to defend your allegations, localguy. It's funny how you (and to a certain degree koolbreez) cling to those 'shipping', not sales, numbers, in hopes of making some nebulous point ?
http://www.electronista.com/... /number.of.online.buyers.using.mobile.devices.also.sees.big.jump/
The operative quote being:
Despite Android having more than 100 times the number of products on the market and (in combination) outselling iOS devices, it would appear that most users do not use them for things like web surfing or buying online, given the lopsided usage numbers from IBM and previous web-usage and mobile-ad stats giving iOS users a huge plurality. The 26.5 percent of consumers who do use mobile devices to buy online has jumped dramatically from last year, when the figure was 15.8 percent.
But as seems to have become common for you "damn actual facts" - full steam ahead with make-believe.
IBM: online shopping way up from 2011, lead by iOS users
updated 08:00 pm EST, Thu November 22, 2012
Number of online buyers using mobile devices also sees big jump
IBM's Benchmark Service, which surveys 500 top retailers with over one million transations, has already released some statistics for Thanksgiving Day online sales in the US, even though the day is not quite over in the westernmost part of the country. Current indications are that online sales are up over 16.4 percent from last year, and that 26.5 percent of consumers buying online are using a mobile device. Of those users, 71 percent used iPhones or iPads (36 percent and 35 percent respectively), and 28 percent used an Android product -- leaving only one percent using some other mobile device.
Despite Android having more than 100 times the number of products on the market and (in combination) outselling iOS devices, it would appear that most users do not use them for things like web surfing or buying online, given the lopsided usage numbers from IBM and previous web-usage and mobile-ad stats giving iOS users a huge plurality. The 26.5 percent of consumers who do use mobile devices to buy online has jumped dramatically from last year, when the figure was 15.8 percent.
Average sales using mobile devices is up to $132.57, and the average number of pages shoppers viewed is up to 7.3. Buyers tended to buy an average of 3.67 items whether ordering from a mobile or non-mobile device, but did not tend to use social networks as a portal for purchases -- only 0.2 percent of buyers ordered directly from social networks, IBM reported.
The statistics showed that consumers are increasingly using mobile devices for the entire shopping experience, and not using the devices to browse shopping sites. For the entire year, about 14 percent of consumers use mobile devices to buy items, an increase of four percent from last year. The survey only covered sales from online stores made today, but the percentages may foreshadow the kind of trend US buyers will see as the holiday buying season begins in earnest tomorrow.

Yeah, looks like Apple is about to crumble:
http://www.statista.com/topics/847/apple/chart/735/apple-s-astonishing-profit-in-context/
Apple's Astonishing Profit in Context
From October 2011 through September 2012, the combined net profit of Microsoft, Google, eBay, Yahoo, Facebook and Amazon was $34.4 billion. Apple alone made $7 billion more.
In the same period, Dell, Asus, Intel, Acer, IBM, Lenovo and HP, i.e. virtually the entire PC industry, made $19.3 billion or less than half of Apple’s profit.
What you guys are missing, is perspective.
