Steve Jobs’ Apple may lose the crown to Samsung in Q1, 2012 – corroborates, Strategy Analytics.

My friend Patrick who works for Appco Group Australia and I had a strong debate over the net about ‘Samsung-Apple’ lawsuit. Well! Be it LAW-COURT or the MARKET – both it seems would never stop to fight! Smile!

Jokes apart, after GREAT performances in Q4 2011 (holding a small lead), both Samsung and Apple are BACK again giving each other a tough time, this year too; this is though good for the consumers at the other end that always look for BEST market deals.

It were Flat panels and Smartphones that contributed the most to Samsung’s success story in the year 2011; the Galaxy-series remained popular with consumers in the market.

Be it value, performance, design or features – Galaxy S II I9100 scored the most than other versions of the series.

For the readers, Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 had recently been given a clean-chit in the Dutch court over the Apple’s patent infringement case.

After good performances of Samsung, market analysts predict that by March 2012 it may possibly overtake Apple Inc. in the Smartphone segment; well, better wait and watch!

About other market players – Sony Ericsson, Motorola, LG, Research In Motion, Nokia have had OKAY performance reports.
