The chips in cellphones that provide the major functions aren't made by
the cellphone manufacturers, and in fact some rather small outfits
around the world are able to make cellphones because of that.  It's kind
of foolish to compare the tremendous resources (design, marketing,
global subcontractor base, economies of scale, global market channels,
etc) that Apple already had at their disposal and the HUGE available
market for cellphones with the situation Elecraft is in.

There have been far more companies who self-destructed because they
didn't understand their core competencies and strayed too far outside it
than those who successfully branched out into multiple other markets.
