> Smart phones sold in unit volumes that dwarfed PC unit volumes.
Popcorn sold in unit volumes even higher than that, but so what? These aren't comparable things.

1. They do the same things. Both are general purpose computers. For some use cases, they both work fine.
2. They're about the same cost: ~$800 or so. But that's comparing flagship smartphone costs with entry-level desktop PC costs.
I suppose from hte perspective of a large company, a smartphone sale seems like it might be more or less valuable than a desktop PC sale depending on a variety of factors. So I think it's safe to say they are similarly comparable in that sense.
