The dominating power of Samsung is well-described in this article here. It has stated that Samsung has many ways in earning profits and revenue. Besides producing many smartphones for all classes income in the society and being the biggest maker of smartphones, Samsung is also the world’s leading maker of memory chips. It also sells it chips to Apple. One of the reason why Samsung can still stand at the top is because of its diverse income flow, it not only earn incomes from producing and selling smartphones, it also sells electronics, television and many other more house appliances. On the other hand, HTC has admit it’s loss in the first quarterly sales. It was said that any smartphone company who has loss in either one of the quarterly sales is bound to keep losing as it is very hard to catch up in its very competitive market. HTC has failed to capture high-end users as most consumers prefer to own an Apple and a Samsung. One of the main reason why HTC fall is because HTC has failed to produce any new and innovative products. Not only that, it has also failed on not finding a secondary income source acting as a backup.

According to this article, Japan Airline is making a deal with Airbus announcing a $9.5 billion order for 31 A350 wide-body jets. Japan Airline has never brought any plane from Airbus, it’s recent decision to order planes from Airbus was because the new planes from Boeing was taking too long to complete. This huge decision made by Japan Airlines also implies that Boeing’s marketing plans aren’t that good and it is potentially threatening Boeing’s relationships in a country that has invested billions of dollars in helping develop its planes as Japanese companies have been important suppliers for Boeing, 35% of it’s parts were made in Japan. Besides Japan Airline, Cathay Pacific Airways and British Airways which has been a longtime customer of Boeing also have ordered planes from Airbus.

From this article, it seems it is very important to produce new products for the market in order to win in the market. Both Boeing and Airbus has been rivals for global leadership for years and Boeing has long been the top spot in orders last year for the first time in a decade. Airbus uses this opportunity to boost it’s amount of orders by providing new planes faster than Boeing which attracts many customers, while Boeing can only hope their new and innovative plane in the later future to be released and turn the tables around between their rivalry war with Airbus.

I found this article to be very interesting in knowing how will Blackberry respond with their huge amount of loss on their fortunes. In order to increase the amount of smartphone sales in the market, BlackBerry decided to launch a new operating system called BlackBerry 10. It was specifically designed for smartphones and it also has a few numbers of mobile carriers which supports BlackBerry 10. Unfortunately after a recent survey, Google’s Android and Apple iOS is still the two most dominating operating system in the market. Although there were many positive feedback regarding the new BlackBerry 10, it is still inferior to the two biggest operating system market. The main selling point of BlackBerry 10 is that it allow the strict separation of applications and content for personal life and work, which may attract companies that do not yet let staff use their own devices. It also allow users to see and deal with messages, tweets and so forth in a central “hub” without needing to switch applications.

It seems BlackBerry isn’t the only one trying to rise in the market, Microsoft’s Windows 8 mobile operating system was also facing similar problems. However, BlackBerry has more current users than Microsoft which makes BlackBerry more superior than Microsoft.
