Am I the only one surprised there were even that many in the first place?
I can’t believe you’ve never heard of Zoogle, Bokia, Pamsung, ACKOOO, ACKOOO2², Votorola…
We are heading towards a future of Apple, Samsung, and Google, with even the latter two struggling to stay afloat.
And to be fair, Google deserves a lot of the blame for this happening.
Google, sure. But Samsung has more marketshare than Apple.

I’d doubt Samsung will be struggling to stay afloat. They’re so diversified they could pick one of their departments to throw money at and just run at a loss in perpetuity, if they felt like it. Apple makes phones, computers, and phone and computers accessories.
Samsung makes phones and computers. And appliances. And chips. And container ships.
