I would think you have to find the full text for that, quite possibly that is for the American market alone.

The claim that HTC are losing money in 2012 is BS. They have been posting profits all the way through 2012 and they do not do much else than make phones so something is not quite right.

The pie chart shows 2011, the text underneath gives details of 2012.

Underneath it says HTC are losing money in 2012, that is wrong.

Do you even know how to read graphically presented data?

I think now MS have released a decent OS for mobile and tablets consumers will find it difficult to resists the ease of integration with Windows. I expect windows Phones to take over iOS in the next year or two. Apple have had their day in the sun.
