They would have to break out the sales specifically which I don't think they're doing at this point. I highly doubt it's that many. Technology has to improve on real life things to be useful.
That's exactly my point. Look at the phone technology before apple got involved and look at it after. The other companies didn't magically spend money to develop phones along the lines of what apple was doing. They copied it. That people in the United States should be giving money to some, and i'll put it nicely, Koreans couldn't pull an original idea out of their own rectum is beyond stupid.
The companies that actually innovate are the only ones that matter.
Technological innovation alone doesn't necessarily make for a vibrant market or for a successful place in the market. Samsung has done pretty well in getting to where it has gotten when it comes to smart phones, regardless of how it has or has not innovated in the technology and/or marketing of technology goods/services. And Apple and Samsung have done pretty well in getting to where they have gotten by doing things that have been done by others before it, including by playing up the PR game.
