LG isnt really in the smart phone business. They are making middle ground phones that mimic the abilities of the iPhone. Palm is a dying beast, and as was said of IBM a long time ago "Its a moose that has been shot through the heart, and refuses to die". Going forward its going to be RIM, Symbian, Apple, Android, WinMo, Palm where Apple/Symbian will eventually switch places. I think Apple needs to change their business model, and open it up to multiple carriers, and you will see them take over Second place.
