@TheRomit sure, it's better than zero. But those types of customers don't lead to a sustainable ecosystem. -
@monkbent The hope is that those buyers, typically first-time smartphone buyers, get entrenched in the ecosystem and go up next purchase. -
@TheRomit sure, but zero evidence that actually happens -
-
@mtrostyle@TheRomit actually a lot that it doesn't. Quality of customer is a huge deal -
-
@mtrostyle@TheRomit ah yes, that's true. In general, any consumer buying on price isn't very useful from an ecosystem perspective

@monkbent does it matter? share first - profits later. look at the gaming console strategy -
@jaykannan there are different types of customers. Console buyers, especially early (unprofitable) ones, are actually the best ones. -
@monkbent yeah, the fact that a low end phone is gaining market share is a good thing. The people in that price bracket will now buy apps

@monkbent true of tablets also. Except perhaps in Amazon's case. -
@BenBajarin@monkbent Amazon only makes enough to sell to the really keen Amazonistas.
