KEY COMPETITORS COVERED
Apple
With the iPad 2 and iOS 5, Apple continues to pace the rest of the consumer devices industry, and it is taking a unique stance on cloud services with the first version of iCloud, which is focused on multi-device synchronization. (1/5/2012)
| Client Access |
HTC
HTC quietly built itself into a leading global smartphone vendor with a strong combination of software and hardware. However, HTC now faces stiffer competition, a tougher environment for software differentiation, and IP challenges from Apple. (1/4/2012)
| Client Access |
LG
LG has been struggling to make up for its late entry into the smartphone space, especially as the featurephone market evaporates. LG hasn’t found a winning formula yet. (12/27/2011)

Motorola Mobility
Motorola Mobility is now a standalone company, its big bet on Android is starting to pay off, and the company entered the tablet market with XOOM. However, competition is fiercer than ever, and Motorola is struggling financially. (9/29/2011)
| Client Access |
Nokia
Nokia has finally launched its first two Windows Phones in Europe, and announced its first for the U.S. The design and marketing are strong and should help stabilize Nokia in Europe, but we remain skeptical about the U.S. (12/30/2011)
| Client Access |
Research in Motion (RIM)
RIM has lost platform momentum in North America, and despite growth in Latin America and parts of Asia, profits are down and the company is in trouble. The PlayBook has been only a middling success, but QNX holds promise for phones in 2012. (9/28/2011)
| Client Access |
Samsung
Samsung made a big bet on combining Google’s Android with its own world-class components. The bet is paying off strongly in phones, though tablets remain Apple’s market to lose. (1/3/2012)
| Client Access |
Sony Ericsson
Sony Ericsson has too few handsets in the U.S. to pose a competitive threat. (9/28/2011)
