If Apple is an American company... How come we don't see a sense of loyalty from the Americans to the level that the Canadian people have for BlackBerry?
All of these companies (consumer electronics and automobiles too) are really multi-national anyway and just happen to have an HQ in one country or the other.

We have a BlackBerry in the top five of a Canadian list.. Lol that's a strong signal of loyalty... Isn't it?

Apple has a higher market share in the US than worldwide, I believe.

What kind of loyalty are we talking about here? Apple is insanely profitable, their products are fairly popular, and roughly half the US population is reported to be using iPhones. I would say that is very impressive given the intense competition and the sheer variety of smartphones available in the market.
If anything, I would argue against blind loyalty. People have a choice, and a significant number are clearly opting for Apple products, despite their higher price tags and oft-criticised closed ecosystem. I say that speaks volumes about the quality and allure of their products, when you buy it of your own free will despite all these perceived drawbacks, rather than being "guilt-tripped" into supporting a local brand out of some misguided sense of patriotism.
That said, I wish Asia could get the same benefits. Our iTunes and ibooks selection is downright abysmal. No iTunes radio even.
