HTC: First-quarter revenue and shipments to double in 2011

Inspire is a Samsung device too, I think.

No, the Inspire is HTC but the Bionic is Motorola. Seriously how do you mess that up? It’s what you do and cover??

That is completely false. While dual core obviously won’t produce double the real use speed (even though benchmarks are double of when only a single core is enabled for the test) Android can and will use both. Does that make it better than the new Snapdragon processor in the TB? I don’t think we’ll know until they two can be tested side by side.

The OS will not be able to utilize dual cores. Only apps that are built to,
will be able to. Do some reading. I’d post links if I could.

Dual Core is use for propaganda, a lot of people don’t know the purpose of dual cores

“Well let’s see…1 manufacturer vs 5+. Uneven a bit, eh? But you’re a blind fanboy.”

What does that even mean? There are way more than five companies building Android phones. What that means is that with X number of manufacturers more Android should have a double digit market share lead on Apple’s iOS and they should have had this lead last year.

Double digit marketshare lead? There are too many players for that to
happen. RIM and Nokia still lead the world. Android went from 0-26%
marketshare in one year! What more do you expect?

@ tim242,

What is it with you and this imaginary 0-26% in one year?

First Android phone in 2008……… 1 iPhone, 1 Android phone
2009 Android phones Droid, G1, MyTouch, Galaxy, Hero and six more, still only 1 iPhone
2010 Android phones explode in numbers but now there are two iPhone models selling. Look out!!!

So, where is your 0-26% thing coming from?

except you forgot to mention the fact that apple is able to produce many phones due to the fact they are such poor quality. I wouldnt brag about mass produced garbage. You soound like an idiot. I know in your mind you are smart and witty but to everyone else you just sound like a blind idiotic fanboy. Pathetic is what you are. I feel sad for you.

APPLE SUCKS.

The G1 went on sale in October 2008. By that time Apple had sold maybe 20 million iPhones (Maybe).

There are roughly 100 Android devices now. The fact that Android does not have a double digit market share lead over iOS proves my point that these manufacturers are combating one another for a piece of the Android pie.

All those people wanting the iPhone didn’t wait, they bought a different phone. Poll after poll has shown that over 50% of Verizon customers are interested in the iPhone. Does that mean that 46.5 million people will be lined up on day on for the iPhone? No but it does mean that Apple will sell 10-15 million Verizon iPhones in 2011.

Spec wise there are more phones out there now but the problem is that they all run the same Android. Either 2.1 or 2.2.

People buying the iPhone instantly have a device that ties into everything else they have been doing.

Android needs a huge iTunes competitor and they needed it back in 2005 when Google purchased the platform.

iTunes is what makes iOS the choice for so many people. Is iTunes bloated? Yep. Is iTunes slow to sync? Yep. Do people wish it was better? Yep. Are those people using anything other than iTunes for the most part? Nope.

Again, Android is great. Android will continue to grow (modestly) but iOS is a vertically integrated platform that will continue to grow at it’s current pace.

Apple will easily ship 160 iOS devices this year.

Apple’s revenues will be $110 Billion for 2011

You are right though it isn’t over, it was over before it began. It merely took good execution to ensure the results.

If you have over 10 manufacturers building around 100 devices and you are not the dominate market player (by a long shot) someone screwed the pooch.

Why does any of this matter? I like choice, I like competition, right now I’m using the _____ phone, next year if it’s better I’ll get the ______ Phone.

get a life. I know you probably just FINALLY were able to save enough money to buy your first iphone. but you are about 4 years too late. They arent cool anymore. Youre not cool. You’re an idiot. An idiot who likes top blurt facts and figures to cover up the fact you have no opinion of your own. You are a fanboy. and the worst kind. Its great to believe in something but to come on a website and act like you created it yourself is, well…… douchebaggish. So just shut your idiot face and save yourself the embarassment. apple sucks massive balls. and so do you. end of discussion.

Android selling more what exactly? Phones? It’s comically close. What makes it comical? The fact that world wide there are literally 100 android devices scattered between different markets and Android is barely eeking out a lead.

Android for all purposes should have a double digit market share lead on Apple. Actually they should have had that lead a year ago.

My point on HTC’s numbers versus Apple’s is that HTC is the gold standard of the Android world and they only shipped 8.5 million phones (not all Android devices either). Apple sold 16.2 million iPhones and had another 3.5 million traveling in the channels. As they said at the conference cal, had they been able to make more phone they would have sold more phones.

Come February they ship the Verizon iPhone to a mass of people that have been waiting. Q2 is generally a down from Q1 but this Verizon demand is going to help Apple to sell 20 million iPhones in Q2. Big deal though because once China Mobile gets the CDMA iPhone that is when the real numbers are going to sky rocket (China Mobile has over 600 million subscribers.

Look, Android is fantastic and I would never deny that. The facts are though that the platforms openness is what holds it back.

Android has peaked as far as the explosive growth goes. Apple’s iOS platform has merely just began. That seems silly (even to me) but is most likely the absolute truth.

iphone got a huge headstart. There was no Android for 2.5-3 yrs, while
iphone was selling like hotcakes. Android went from 0-26% marketshare in a
year. Are you expecting miracles? It’s not over yet, I assure you. I don’t
think the ViPhone will sell like people think. 1. Not many people would wait
that long for a phone. 2. There are many better choices out there now. 3.
Both Att and Verizon customers are mostly in the middle of contracts. I
doubt people will be paying $325:ETF’s and $600 for a full-priced iphone. It
will sell, but not the way it once would’ve.

Manufacturers going to dump Android after Oracle get done with Google

hey moron…. androids been out half as long as iphone and is ALREADY taking over. what dont you get about that? Youre beloved Apple is obsolete. and losing ground fast.I give it 3 years. I am sure they will release one or two more crappy iphone versions(they all suck and are hugely embarassing). The fact you even brag about a company that has no idea your gay ass exists is COMICAL. you are an idiot. I just cant stress it enough

Are you kidding me?

HTC has been building phones for 13 years? Is that your Argument?
Apple has been building phones for a total of 3.5 years.

HTC’s quarter shows $3.2 Billion in revenue from their phone business that they have been in for 13 years.

Apple’s iPhone only sales (16.2 million vs HTC’s 8.5 million) were over $10 Billion.

So, in Apple’s 3rd full year in the phone business they crushed HTC and their 13 years of experience.

In 2010 HTC shipped 24 million phones (not all smartphones and not all running Android) with ASP’s of $375

In all of 2010 Apple shipped roughly 48 Million phones (all smartphones and all running iOS) with ASP’s of $600+.

Not only is Apple selling twice as many phones as the 13 year incumbent but they are earning over $225 dollars more per phone.

so youre argument is Apple earns more per phone? LOL. thats a terrible argument. All that proves is they overcharge for technologically obsolete garbage and morons like you buying it, not knowing the difference between an iphone and an iturd. (there is no difference)

I understand the unwillingness to accept what is happening. There are some factors at work that might help you understand what is going to happen.

Apple opens retail stores
Apple gains new customers
Those new customers become iTunes account holders
Those iTunes account holders buy another Apple product

Rince and repeat

Apple grow at this pace until they stop opening stores. They have the cash to scale up their business to whatever heights they choose.

No one company and now 20 companies combined have the momentum or control that Apple now has.

If you average out Apple’s growth over the last 5 years and add it to the next 5 in 2015 Apple will post yearly revenue of $500 Billion dollars and most likely will profit $100 Billion plus.

3rd quarter – Apple + 1%, Android + 6%. Enough said.

You tell him TimmyBoy! Apple results for the quarter were an absolute farce! We at the Goofan (aka Apple Hater) nation, of which TimmyBoy’s a board member, know that Apple falsified all their results for the quarter.

“3rd quarter – Apple + 1%, Android + 6%. Enough said.”

Apple (q manufacturer): 160 Million iOS Devices Sold.

Android (all manufacturers): 8.5 million.

Enough Said.

learn to spell words. then you can pretend you know what youre talking about. in the meantime, shut ur idiotic face. youre an embarassment to apple fanboys,

agreed. thenewreign is probably one of the biggest morons i have encountered on this site. not a single word he said has any truth or fact to it. its probably steve jobs, being a dbag again. or one of his gay lovers. either way, def an iphone user. zzzzzzzzzzz. iphone = 2007

Droid Did.

We’ll see about that when all of these 4G powerhouses are released hahahaha
you people are delusional

wrong. but nice attempt. Android now controls the smartphone market. yes, beating out even the crappy and boring (and over rated) iOS. Sad but true. Welcome back to earth.
