Apple is The King

In terms of Market capital, these are the ranking of the major mobile phone companies.
Samsung 53B
Nokia 22.6B
HTC 25.4B
RIM 13.8B
Motorola 4.2B
LG 10B
Sony Ericsson 3B
If all these companies are added up together will be 132B.
How about the King? Apple market cap is 302B and having cash 70B in the bank.
So who will be the major player for Mobile phone business? Obviously will be Apple,
If Apple takes out his cash I the bank probably could buy up all the Mobile phone company except Samsung.
However the US anticompetition court will not allow Apple to do so.
Apple in 2010 bought 17.5B worth of semiconductor, a 79.6% increase from 9.7B in 2009. So Apple is the key influential player in the chip purchase. Second is HP and third is Samsung amongst 10 major OEM Semiconductor buyers.
