Two More Bite the Dust (Almost That Is)

This week two more phone makers bit the dust. Panasonic is getting out of the business in Japan and Blackberry is desperately doing everything they can sell off their phone assets so they can get out of that business ASAP.

.It should be clear to most people that the iFruit company and Samsung are the two uber-powers in the Smartphone arena and everyone else is fighting over scraps.

Other companies like LG, HTC and Huawei can still compete and in a couple of years, who knows, everything could change. After all, it was only a few years ago that Blackberry was the invincible 800 pound gorilla. It’s a fast changing world and all you need to be a big time player is to make a product that gets people’s attention.

After all, the new iPhones are pretty pedestrian but Apple still has that bling and they’ll sell a ton of them. It’s not about who’s best, it’s about who has the best marketing.
