Show me a shipping phone

Who said anything about these used in phones?  I surely didn't.

So what exactly do you think the article was referring to when they
mentioned "mobile devices"? Laptops and netbooks?



or tablet based on AMD's technology then they
might have some credibility.

I think the link to the article showing 1 million APUs shipped proves
my point.

And what's special about AMD shipping chipsets for netbooks and
laptops -- like they've been doing for over two decades. And if they
only shipped 1 million, that's less than 25% of the number of
computers that Apple ships in a quarter and they are considered with
"other" in worldwide market share?


 These things are going to SFF devices (miniITX systems,
STBs)> and mobile devices (tablets, netbook/notebooks).

Netbooks -- a dying market
Tablets -- how many of these AMD based tablet computers have actually
*shipped" to end users? What will they be running Windows? How has
that worked out for the past decade?


 HP, Acer, and
Asus to name a few are just a few.  And they have excellent track
records of bringing there announced products to market

They have excellent record of bringing tablets to market? Since
when? Do I need to remind you again of the HP Slate?

Not shipping = vapor. Get back to me when they have real shipping
products for which we can compare usability, battery life, etc.

- and oddly
enough, they're either some of Apple's biggest _competitors_, or (in
the case of Asus) a supplier for Apple hardware.


Apple made 70%+ of it's revenue of from iPhones, iPads, iPods and
iTunes, How many of those companies that you listed have successfully
competed with Apple in any of those areas?
