Apple antagonist Proview unveils its own iPad

26 Letters in the alphabet so why did Proview choose the letter "i"?

When I last checked with my 5 year old son there are still 26 letters in the alphabet.

Apple has used the letter "i" in front of their gadgets for donkeys years..

Therefore, anyone else using this must surely have the aim of trying to impersonate this well known brand. There should be a law against Proview using this. It should by law be irrelevant who registered the name first - what is important is the reason why they registered and used the letter "i"?

International law does not allow you to register website domains that are purely created to earn revenue off the big brands eg you cannot register the domain "Walmart" for no reason and then hold the real company to ransom to pay you millions to get it registered in their name unless your name is "Walmart". So the motive to register the letter "i" must have been to get revenue from Apple since there were another 25 letters to choose from.

I think international law should be similarly applied.

Samsung outsold Apple in world smartphone arena

Comparing Apple to pears

Journalists, when comparing statistics of marketshare of smartphones (and tablets) and trying to belittle Apple with headlines such as this "Samsung outsold Apple" should bear in mind the following when referring to statistics..

1) Apple are only in the "luxury" smartphone/tablet market ie prices over $400.

2) For IOS gadgets Apple is the only manufacturer wheras Android gadgets are produced by many manufacturers.

Its like producing an article sayng "General Motors outsold Mercedes" . A journalist would never dream of writing such a headline since its an obvious unfair comparison. Journalists are wise enough to know that for a relevant statistic they should only compare Mercedes sales to other General Motors models in the more expensive "luxury" car market.

Therefore, why do journalists feel they can get away with such nonsense statististcs when talking about Apple vs Samsung and IOs vs Android? Journalists when talking about Apple smartphones/tablets sales should only use market share statistics to compare them to other expensive smartphones and tablets produced by other manufacturers in order to compare Apple with other apples.

I bet then that the statistics would show that in the "luxury/expensive" smartphone and tablet market the Apple share compared to Samsung and other androids is really around 90%?

EDITORS - please stop journalists abusing the statistics in order to create sensationalist headlines. Thank you.

Comparing Apple to pears

Journalists, when comparing statistics of marketshare of smartphones (and tablets) and trying to belittle Apple should bear in mind the following when referring to Apple.

1) As stated elsewhere IOS is only one company Apple whereas Android is lots of major companies such as Samsung, HTC etc

2) Apple are only in the "luxury" smartphone/tablet market ie prices over $400.

Its like producing an article belittelling Mercedes for only have a small share of the overall car market. That would be a misleading statistic and unfair comparison. If writing about Mercedes market share journalists are wise enough to know they should only compare Mercedes sales in the "luxury" car market.

Therefore, similarly I wish journalist when talking about Apple smartphones/tablets only used market share statistics to compare them to other expensive smartphones and tablets in order to compare Apple with other apples.

I bet then that the statistics would show that in the "luxury/expensive" smartphone and tablet market the Apple share is really around 90%?
