I'd say conceptually you don't understand the difference between Apple, Google and Microsoft. I mean look at computers. Apple had a negligible share once, but came back and continues to thrive while others wither and die. You don't seem to understand why. It doesn't seem that complex to me. Its the Tortoise and the Hare paradigm. It makes almost all share arguments moot.
No, I get it, and I even agree that they have been and probably always will keep building upon that loyal base. I disagree, however, that share doesn't become instrumental at some point. The Mac is thriving after many years with a relatively small market share... but it's also responsible for a tiny portion of Apple's profits. Apple could lock in the same scenario with the iPhone and iPad. I'll address this more when I reply to MGV's post later.
