Who would have guessed a couple of years ago that it would be Google that would take on Apple instead of Microsoft?

How is Google doing in Europe?

Doing very well:

Nokia/Symbian could do no wrong for a decade. It was hard doing business with them because they were so confident of their position.

Your point is well-taken, by the way. Not long ago, t would have been hard to imagine that Google would be what they are today.

Amir, is the line entry for Google all android based phones or just Google phones?

Oh, this is all Android sales to third-party phone makers. I don't think the Google branded phone sold at all. Now, once they buy Motorola, then they will have a significant market share themselves. Until then it is all OS shares.
