Smart Phone sales

[William Muriithi]

Hi

This is an interesting article.  What I found interesting is the
profit graph at the bottom.  Seem like Apple is getting half of the
smart phones profit share. That is despite selling only half of the
android volume.  Since a non subsidized iphone cost $700 and most of
the android phones cost $550 to $700, -Not a big price difference, it
imply Apple manufacturing process may be far more efficient.  Its kind
of odd, how they pull that out as all manufacture their phones from
China.

The android market size also has another implication.  Its now highly
likely that WebM may actually get entrenched at the expense of H.264

Anyway, just thought it may be of interest to you
