Android is complete crap. It is not a platform, but an underpinning for HTC, MOTO, Samsung, etc. No intraoperability, no upgrade, no apps, no revenue. Market share for free is nothing. If you are going to insist on reporting Android as if it is a competitor with iOS then add up all iOS to Android activations (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, Apple TV and Mac- yes Mac since just like Android OS X is the underpinning of iOS.) Even these comparisons are dumb. Who is making money on their operating system? Not Android. 30,000,000 times 0 is $0. 16,000,000 times $600= $960,000,000 and that’s just the hardware. Who is selling Apps? Which company has an ecosystem that feeds itself.

It looks like Apple shareholders are going to take another earning’s beating. Analysts are boosting Apple numbers to an impossible to beat level. Even a slight miss on any device sales will send the already shaky Apple share price plummeting. Wall Street really wants to take this stock down. Maybe even more than RIM or Google. The coming Apple bloodbath will probably cause investors to completely stay away from tech.

That should be $6.05 for the EPS prediction, typo on my part.
