And the truly perplexing aspect is that we’re not even fighting with the right
weapons. We are still too often trying to approach each price range on a
device-to-device basis. The battle of devices has now become a war of
ecosystems, where ecosystems include not only the hardware and
software of the device, but developers, applications, ecommerce, advertising,
