Ah, statistics.
If I eat two roast beefs, and you eat none, according to statistics, each one of us ate one. The magic of numbers.

Oh, and that chart is misleading: the decline is in units sold, not market share. tsk tsk.

I have started a small blog. Analytics sees about 600% increase in visitors because it went from 1-2 per day to about 7-8 per day. I bet cnn.com should be threatened because my market share increases much faster than their ...

Same thing with Nokia sold units vs. Apple sold units. Even if either one sold 1 billion units, they would never reach 100% market share (with that amount, would be darn close tho
)People stare too much on percentages, that's what I think.
I could be gravely mistaken, but am I?

The problem is not with the smaller player growing but with the big ones moving up or down by a lot!

This table is so wrong on so many accounts, I will try to cover most important.
1. In 2q08 iPhone sales flatlined completely. Some even predicted end of iPhone but it was everyone waiting for second generation. Also after that quarter Apple product became officially available globally. This sales jump came in most part from international sales. And this also explains why Nokia is lukewarm about US - it is global game. Success at all costs in US isn't so impotrant like still US-centered internet likes to think.
2. How 'smartphones' are counted? With width and breadth of Nokia's offering isn't it possible that middle level phones are becoming 'good enough' to replace previous top of the line (especially in times of crisis)?
