they are beaten by the chinese easily.. that one of the problems Sony has to deal with.. and probably not gonna win cause the Chinese can build much cheaper..

That's quite an interesting overview, I had no idea Nokia was still that big (even though they're apparently shrinking fast?), nor that Apple accounted for such a relatively small part of the market. I knew Samsung is the dominant force, but I always reckoned (like most, I think), that Apple was comfortably in 2nd place. It's also pretty telling that several unfamiliar (Chinese, I assume) brands are above Sony on that list. Didn't expect that.
