Yes, also in that case. It has more to do with having only 1 phone model than anything else. Oh, and it's US, where Apple's share is 1.5 times as in the rest of the world.

I didn't know the reason to by Xoom and lack of expansion slot has hurt Samsung sales quite a bit.
Not that they released numbers anyway. We just know that Samsung has hoped for more.
And there is more to it. People that buy shiny stuff, would go for iStuff. Many of those that don't are waiting for price to drop a couple of hundred of bucks (nVidia promising "very very cheap, soon" fuels this expectation)

So they don't want to be dominant, seriously?

You mean iPads are built on some special parts of Foxconn that is superior to where other manufacturers' stuff is done, or they somehow have cheaper than usual workers building for Apple? Or Samsung would sell screens (the most expensive part of the device) to its own for a higher price, than it sells it to Apple?
I don't think price is where it is due to manufacturing costs. It looks like more of a "oh, we don't want our device to be dubbed cheap" thing.

When direct numbers draw pitiful picture, Apple uses more FUD. I recall they magically trippled market share over this Xmas and got share larger than Android somehow.
Oh well, good for them and their followers.
