The following video is part of our nationally syndicated Motley Fool Money radio show, in which host Chris Hill and advisors Ron Gross, James Early, and Seth Jayson discuss the week's business and investing news. As we wrap up 2011, the guys give their picks for business leader of the year. Plus, Seth examines the rising market share of Android and what it means for Apple and Microsoft.

Apple is just one company in the next generation of multibillion-dollar companies riding the mobile revolution to a record profits. The Motley Fool has a new free report on mobile named "The Next Trillion Dollar Revolution" that details a "hidden" component play inside mobile phones and also is a market leader in the exploding Chinese market. Inside the report we not only describe why the mobile revolution will dwarf any other technology revolution seen before it, but we also name the company at the forefront of the trend.

The Steve Jobs Betrayal
You may already know that in the final year of his life, Jobs revealed a stunning betrayal — and told his biographer, "I will spend my last dying breath... and every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank to right this wrong." What was it that made Jobs so irate — and why could it make a few in-the-know investors some major profits over the coming months and years?

Really. That I heard him say is that he doesn't like iPhones, he never did. (which is fine). And why have to press 8 buttons instead of 1 (which suggests he has never used an iPhone and certainly knows nothing about it).
From the article you would imagine that the iPhone was getting its but kicked.
You would never guess that Apple makes nearly 2/3 of all profits made by mobile phone makers.
You would never guess that it has by far the highest customer satisfaction ratings.
You would never guess that it was by far the highest paid app revenue and continues to have the highest developer activity.
You would never guess that for all mobile devices, not just phones, the units gap between Android and iOS is marginal.
I guess it's all summed up in that statement "I don't like the iPhone, I never did"
