Apple will "maintain both market and profit share leadership" in mobile devices during 2011, claims Canaccord Genuity analyst Michael Walkley. The statement is founded on "continued strong sell-through trends for the iPad and iPhone," including a series of bulletpoint facts. During the third quarter of the year, for instance, Apple is said to have had 47 percent of industry profits for mobile devices and tablets; the next closest competitor is thought to have been RIM at 18 percent. RIM has yet to launch its own tablet, the PlayBook.
