I think his point was that the smartphone market is still very much in it's infancy. Being number one right now doesn't matter since the game hasn't even really begun.

iPhone dominates right now but so did the Apple IIe back in the day.

Smartphones are merely an evolution of normal cell phones, so you are not really making a fair comparison.

Just look at the big players in the cell phone market, aside from Apple what has really changed since the mid 90's when nobody had cell phones?

History has shown us what kind of advantage being early to the game can give you in the technology market. Especially when you consider how encumbered everything is these days.

The fact remains that the phone markers are focusing more now on higher margin smartphones than 'dead phones'. How many people have phones is means a lot less when smartphones are starting to approach 'dead phones' when it comes to profits.(even with much smaller sales)

RE: give it time
I don't think history has really shown us this.
