Their share has actually increased slightly. It's far from over. It's still very early in the mobile device game.

They then go and make the N900 again underpowered but this hardware is the best they've stuck into a device,
Underpowered? At release it was the most kick-butt hardware available. Still is pretty much. Underpowered...I wanna warp drive in mine while they're at it.

HP buying Palm, if they get it together palm people developing webos while HP's people make the hardware. I can't imagine them releasing one device at a time, but they will definately attack the low end.
Like Dell, Garmin and others, HP will find breaking into a (new for them) well-stocked market tough. Especially the low end. I don't like their chances.

win mob 7 has time to get win mob 7 improved as nokia makes their improvements.
Hey, above you said Nokia's time for rebound had passed, despite their massive and increasing market share. But Windblows has time, despite having a minor and shrinking share? Which is it?

The kin shows what they are aiming at.
Low. Too low.

once you get a slice of the high end squashing the low end is easy.
Why? It's two different markets.

I hate apple but they are suceeding imo because of marketing but they are scared and the lawsuits are a tell they want to patent the unpatentable concepts but can't move forward without others patents thus the lawsuits in hopes of resulting in a patent exchange
Apple should've learned 20 years ago that a totally closed system will eventually lose. Then again, maybe they do remember and that's why they set loose a legal army against those who would oppose the Emperor
Jobs.
