Hardly a decreasing market. Apple will always be the favourite of richer people while Android phones will cater to peasants who want to look posh like iPhone users.

Now that is funny as we run a TV Company offering live TV over the internet to your mobile and 99% of our problems are to deal with the iPhone and their settings and stupid people owning them not knowing how to configure them correctly because of the buggy software.
And believe me, these are not the blue veined elite that you are fantasizing to as most of these people are stay at home mothers or the unemployed. Most of the people we deal with who are the white collared workers sitting in the train on their way home are using Android or Rim devices.
By the way, anyone can pick out statistics:

Thats minuscle considering Android covers all smart phone manufacturers vs one company that is Apple. It actually shows Apple iphone's dominance of high end smartphone market.

Let's see - ukpolska is involved with a company that supplies live streaming of video to handsets. You - a nobody. I wonder who might know more about such things?

Hello! hello! hello!

Lets take some facts; Apple products from USA maybe cheap and since you said that you have contacts and you could get it even cheaper - thats fine, but the fact is, those will NOT be covered by the Apple European warranty. Which means, that, a buyer when registers the product with a Polish address, the product will not be registered therefore, the buyer will have only the 1 yr limited warranty, he or she will not be able to extend it any further. So how does the person here get service?

Secondly, Allegro has indeed developed its market very well. I know many Poles who smartly do their business with Allegro. As someone said, many don't even bother to have a website, let alone e-commerce. True again, not many Poles have credit cards and neither will they shop with a new website using their credit cards, unless its Amazon, and maybe, Allegro. Further, when buying from Allegro, a buyer can either chose to pay online via a bank transfer, which helps or enables the buyer to trace the seller/company or, they chose to pay in cash to the post.

And finally, how do I know all this ... well cause I am an authorized Apple re-seller and I tried getting Apple from Hong Kong, which is cheapest for whole sale purchases ... all is fine, but the mess is with the Apple EU limited warranty.
