Yes, I mean LG only has a tiny 9.2% global market share in cell phones (IDC Q1/2010). There are like, you know, at least TWO manufacturers that sell more phones. Who cares about LG.

Actually Moto has been losing their overall marketshare pretty fast. They are out of IDC top 5 at least for Q1, replaced by RIM.

Here are the IDC top five Q1/2010:

1. Nokia 36.6%
2. Samsung 21.8%
3. Lg 9.2%
4. RIM 3.6%
4. Sony Ericsson 3.6%

It is a fair comparison when we are being generalised by Engadget as a separate entity! We aren't playing a "who's got more people" game :p

As Thomas lives in Europe I can only assume that the title of the article is some kind of joke that has clearly failed. I have to say I have noticed increasingly cynicism in Thomas's articles of late, I imagine that being an Engadget editor can be quite stressful but has it really made you so jaded?

Last time I checked, Russia and the Ukraine were still part of Europe. It's launching there today. But that's beside the point. Engadget clearly has an international reader base, hell it's even got an international editor base. And yet you think nothing of offending those readers.

Yes, brilliant rebuttal in twitter:

"Xenophobia and poor reading skills are an explosive mixture."

I am sure we are all Xenophobes and have poor reading skills. This is much more likely than the fact that you are a myopic douche that does not fail to exhibit your own narcissistic tendencies. So, because you exclude and dismiss large parts of the planet, we are Xenophobes? Other editors apparently do not suffer from this syndrome. Are you compensating because you live abroad? Its a good thing your articles are free to read, and we did not pay for this junk. You know what else is free btw?

Oh yeah, because the millions of people living in Asia Pacific (which includes Australia, and New Zealand). The Middle East (remember how rich people in Dubai are?), Africa, and Southern America aren't really good enough to count.

But you're right, I guess us crocodile hunters, suicide bombers, soccer players and lion hunters just don't know good technology when we stumble across the camps of the pure-hearted American missionaries. ]]>Jul 28th 2010 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/lgs-application-store-launches-in-places-you-dont-live-for-dev/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/28/lgs-application-store-launches-in-places-you-dont-live-for-dev/
