It's really funny to see how some Apple fanboys jump up and start gasping for personal attacks when there is some doubt about any poll that favors Apple in any way. Psychologist call it dogmatic behaviour where Apple = good and the rest = bad. It's as simplistic as a regular Star Wars plot, you have the good and the bad side. Nuances are just proof of (of course) your lack of knowlegde. It's not an Apple thing of course, you see this lack of nuance among other brand fanboys as well. Last week I was sitting in a cafe listening to a silly rant about how good Samsung is and how bad Apple have become....
So what we have here? Apple got an award, good for them. More interesting for me would be the downfall of popularity of Apple products throughout the world. Personally I think Apple is also more interested in these numbers instead of awards even though it's nice to get. This explains why Apple will launch cheaper products and, as rumors go, even consider to enlarge it's screen sizes on the mobile smartphones, all due popular demand.
Ah well, Apple will get more prizes like all companies will get more prizes and in the good tradition of good PR all branches will shout that these awards good be seen as some kind of proof of success even when numbers do show some other story.
