Reading the first article, you would say, "Motorola has two of the top five selling phones. They must be doing well." and reading the second you would say "...What gives?" I that that this highlights a problem for the Android phone makers in that the OS itself is prospering while the companies making the phones are not, or at least not as much as one would think.Any source
