Image
The field is full of actors having various kinds of difficulties from exploding phones to trembling hardware infected with 'touch disease'. Apart from the headline news of problems there is the underlying problem with 'Sales'. Google wants to take on Apple, if I go by some of the Internet sites. Microsoft has tried to enter smart phone market with a really good phone like Microsoft Lumia 950.
