The S3 justcame out, it will be interesting to see how it will compete with next iPhone (5?)
@Value, its hard to compare the S3 to iPhone5 because iPhone5 is still rumour. I think Samsung S3 is big hit among users because already 10+ million users have placed pre-orders.

Tim Cook may not be an innovator, but he is a real supply chain genius.
@Value, true I agree with your opinion. Many people were doubting about Apples success under the leadership of Tim Cook. But he has done excellent job and has helped Apple to retain its top position.

I think both Nokia & RIMM are history now.
@Value, I dont think so. Many android based mobiles like Samsung are planning for its own OS (named as Bada OS) because google bought motorola hardware unit. So this will act in favour of nokia because nokia has one of the best hardware features available in the market.

Nokia still has some innovation left in them (I think so anyway)
@TelecomFreq, I agree with you. I heard lot about of positive reviews about nokias new 41MP camera. I am sure nokia will make comeback.

@Value Hiker,
I would say that is most definatly the case for RIM, but Nokia still has some innovation left in them (I think so anyway)
But the way patents are selling these days, those portolios mist very well be their most valuble assest.

I think both Nokia & RIMM are history now. The only value left is their Patent Portfolio.

Nokia just annouced to cut 10,000 jobs worldwide, and shut down facilities in German and Canada. Several exec were also replaced. Looks like a big restructure.
The battle in this field is getting more "exciting".

@mInvestor, actually most chinese companies can NOT make the top-notch smart phone cheaper than Samsung and Apple. Due the duo-play of smart phone world. Apple and Samsung controls the lion's share of the OEM market. Many time they manufactured their own components. Any manufacuter without their orders are doomed, recently examples are: OVTI, SNDK, and GLW. These companies were slaughtered by losing or not having Samsung/Apple's orders.
In addition to the huge volume advantage for Samsung and Apple, they also set up their manufacturing in China now. Local Chinese small players are suffering big time like Nokia, and RIMM.
Tim Cook may not be an innovator, but he is a real supply chain genius.

@minvestor,
I have to agree with you, right now the playing field is somewhat level for hardware, but software is where the innovation is happening, and that is where companies are setting themself apart from the rest.

@Value Hiker,
Lots of Chinese companies can make similar smart phones with lower cost as similiar as iPhone or Samsung phones (hardware wise), but they can't compete with iPhone or Samsung phones at all. The difference is on software and service. Samsung can now make a very good phone now, sometimes their hardware is even better. But their software is still not that good, not that user friendly comparing to iPhones.
I love Android system, I like all open source systems. I even spend quite some time to develop for Android systems. Unfortunately no app or smart phone can compete with iPhone or iPad yet. I admire what Apple engineers achieved.
Maybe one day we can catch up and even make a better smart device.
