I agree. Samsung are in a good position in the marketplace and they make good devices. I think it would take something significant to knock them from their current position.
I think, as difficult to predict also would take Nokia-Windows phone conjures up something special to overtake Apple and Samsung. Do you ever think Samsung smartphone would suffer in world market irrespective of OS it operates?
_hm are you predicting MS acquiring RIM? Nokia/Microsoft patnership already in market, we just have to wait to see dimension smartphone market would take 2012 to 2013. Is it not difficult now with uncertainty hangs in the air? I bet you hardly foresee magical thing from Windows in mobile sector, though.
(imo) It takes about 3 years from now, it is quite long how to predict Windows rank in smartphone market, considering 3 years ago most of us weren't aware of Android, for example?
By the way windows has released different version of windows known as Windows RT for its ARM processor. This is creating lot of confusion among application developers. Mozilla product director has already said that Firefox on Window RT 'probably not worth it'.
I am a little surprised. I have spoken to many people who think that Android is on the decline although they have a major share of the handset market now. Do you see WP being #2 within the next year?
I think Microsoft has better future than android. I've heard many people complain about heat and battery depletion issues in android phones. With windows8 coming out soon Microsoft is certainly heading towards a great success. If this works successfully on arm there is no turning back for Microsoft.

Peter Drucker famously said "Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window." Yet in the razor's-edge world of electronics—with a lean supply chain and just-in-time demands—the need to know the future is vital.
You've heard the saying "the No. 1 supply chain risk is your people." That hasn't always been the case. But today's complex global supply chain requires a new type of multitalented employee. It's one who understands, finance, marketing, economics, is savvy with technology, graceful with relationships and can think analytically.
Where are these people? Are universities properly preparing the next generation supply chain professionals? How do train your existing workforce for these new, demanding positions?
Brian Fuller, editor-in-chief of EBN, will lead a 60-minute Avnet Velocity panel discussion that will ask and answer these and other questions swirling around today's supply-chain talent challenges.
