Do I have to remind you the history of other big companys that now is not that big anymore?

It took Apple's Multi-Billion Dollar marketing.
Plus a Multi-Billion Dollar investment (stores, R&D, IP, etc etc).
Plus several years in the making.
Plus a fresh, innovative start that was unlike anything in the market.
...
... .... it took all of that for Apple to become #2 and to topple off two major players, and sink down three medium players.

All I'm saying is that Apple and Google will go forever upwards, until they no longer can and a new innovative player enters the field.

Remember the PC market?
It used to be 99% Microsoft, 1% Mac, 0% Other (with a 1% margin of error)... and after decades (aka forever upwards) what do we have?
Mac on 4%, Linux on 2%, Other on 5%... and Windows covering everything else (~90%).
