  Ok, your here for one thing and rational conversation isn't part of it, but lets try.

  Samsung has a fight on it's hands. Because Google wants the volume market for itself. While Android was split between many players, they could leave it to the field, but with Samsung so big they would own Android, and Google cannot allow that.

  So Samsung must move to an OS that they control. It could be an Android fork, but Google would play on that to advantage.

  This transition will take 2 years, and over that time Samsung's market share and margins will be under heavy pressure.

  RIM will take very little high end market. They have already lost the momentum in the business market. And high end and business users aren't going to move to their new platform which is unlikely to survive.

  The only place that RIM do well these days is in the low end consumer market. Whether they survive there is still to be seen.

  With the 2 highest selling smartphones on the planet, the iP5 outselling the GS3 by a factor of 2x and the 4S beating it too, Apple is taking 70% of the profit in the mobile phone industry.

  I think that Apple may well leave it that way, but if the pundits are right and Apple produce a large plastic iPhone to compete with the large plastic Galaxy S, Samsung could easily loose half their market at fast as Apple can ramp up production.

  Lets see, shall we?

  One bland, sweeping paragraph on a topic that is a sure-fire eyeball magnet these days?

  Why don't Motley Fool's 'writers' save the camouflage and get right to their point on MF's behalf . . . skip the paragraph and BEGIN your page with the entity you are SELLING, even if what you are selling is quote "free" unquote.

  In my opinion, only authentic information-purveyors, such as Evan Niu — who buttresses his opinions with well-researched, well-documented facts — are slowing down Motley Fool's slow but evident erosion of credibility. (You will find that evidence in comments about MF, in online forums apart from MF pages.)

  It is come-ons like this page's headline and short opinion — followed by the ever-present sales pitch — that have made me shy away from clicking on most MF links, because these patently obvious fishing lures make me feel like Motley Fool considers me a sucker it hopes to reel in.

  I have no doubt that you'll delete this, but in order for your censor to know whether to let it stand, he will have to read it. And that is my intention . . . to convey to Motley Fool why I cancelled my email notifications from you months ago.

  This is pretty silly comment.

  iPhone is already irrelevant. Samsung's competition comes from HTC/Sony/LG, not from Apple these days.

  That's because HTC/Sony/LG got inspiration (don't want to say copy) what Samsung's doing in phone space. Ultimately it will be up to consumers as to which product they will use. But there is integration in consumer space and Samsung/LG is leading there as they already sell products into this space. Others are more pure smart phone play.

  "iPhone 5 one for the ages" ? Because Apple added SO MUCH to the 4S. Doesn't anyone remember all the disappointment the i5's release caused? I lost hope in Apple phone innovation after the 5..... Sorry... Go Android/BB/Windows from now on
