A fascinating difference in smartphone buying behaviour got highlighted today. In the US, Apple has double the market share [http://blog.nielsen.com/nielsenwire/online_mobile/two-thirds-of-new-mobile-buyers-now-opting-for-smartphones/] of its nearest competitor, Samsung. However, in The Netherlands, the swamp I call home, the situation is completely reversed [http://tweakers.net/nieuws/83131/nederland-telt-tweemaal-zo-veel-samsung-smartphones-als-iphones.html]; Apple sits at 10% of the smartphone market, Samsung at 19.6%. Is this indicative of Europe as a whole? Could German, French, Polish, British, Spanish, Italian, etc. readers give local information from their own countries? I'm intrigued.
