Technology focus will be on creating new applications for those diverse yet exploding segments.

These guys are 4 steps ahead of competition... In fact, Apple is a joke, they will get a tiny percentage of the global market and their iphone will become irrelevant. The iphone is only big in the US cause of the combined Apple+ATT marketing machine who are maintaining the hype. I saw a $100-iphone clone made out of China and it was hot! Apple should worry about Blackberry. Nokia is not concerned with the iphone and the US market, they are concerned with the WORLD and staying #1 while competing with Chinese manufacturers and how to create recurring revenues after the phone has been sold...and noone else is thinking about that! and by the way, they still have the best phones...
