Agreed, not surprising at all...This article seems more in line with reality...

On another note do any of you remember a news article Zak posted right after thanksgiving this year entitled: "iPad accounts for 71% of china's tablet market"? He made is seem like the rich Chinese were buying apple products in droves. We called BS on it though. Here the tomshardware article:

China is next in line for being a very big super power. Just like everything in this universe, things come and go.

Haha the picture shows a little Android guy eating a bunch of money, which is appropriate because despite the fact that Android is the biggest player in the smartphone market, Google STILL can't figure out how to make money on it. It's like, instead of the money getting to Google it's being eaten by a lumbering, uncaring, unfeeling robot, which is a nice description of Android users generally.

Wow. That must be the most retarded thing I read on TH in a while. I feel dumber just for reading it.
Congrats. Let's see how you're going to dig yourself out of this hole.

"5 percent share of the Chinese smartphone market"

Apple is used to the 5% numbers...
Like when they missed to boat on the PC market when the C-64s and Apple IIs came to an end.

A few more years and Apple will be back where they belong. A high end 2bit player catering to a 5% minority with more money than IT savvy. Then watch how quickly that fat bank account will get drained.
