In a recent meeting with an INTEL manager, he was telling me about INTEL's plans to go into the mobile, mainly ARM, market.
The good thing for Microsoft is that the competition for its software is still linux and other open OSs. Apple is competing against PC makers and price is still a big limitation.
Microsoft products have great stability with the Intel based devices so they don't have much to do, just only to make their products compatible with the ARM based devices.
I see Microsoft advertising a lot for these products, but I'm questioning how much of the market Microsoft will actually be able to take from it's competitors.
If the question is Ios vs Androind then the answer should be of course Androind (based on research how many devices have its operating system) But if the question is Apple vs Samsung hmm then the answer became more difficult to be answered. So everything has to do with the sales and if we want to forecast about the future sales we have to look on research team of its company.
Apple is still going strong in the Mac computer market (anyone know anything about chomebook from Google ?). I think at some point they will have to diverse a bit to avoid overlapping and competing heads on.
I think Apple has such a huge advantage right now and for the near future with their fanbase and the target demographic. The other competitors must only try to lessen the gap. If they can do that alone, I think they will be successful.
Do you need Albert Einsten theorem to know which of the 2 firms will run out of ideas first? And also we need to cast our minds back to their histories, how they have survived in the past.

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.
While no one really can accurately predict the future, we can take guidance from another Drucker saying which is the best way to predict the future is to create it.
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.
