Actually this method us used by lazy anal…ysts. Many Samsung “smart” phones are not really that smart. Also buy one get two free is not a profit making measure.

Just read article that said buyers from mobile devices at 12% of buyers. 6.5 % of tablets (95% iPad) and 5.5% smart phone (needs to be smart and easy enough to actually buy on line), this last quarter.

iOS, leading the way as I see it.

Another equally valid take: “iPhone Q2 growth doubles Android Growth.”

There are different variations on the style and design but it is also rather clunky. iOS doesn’t have that but nonetheless it is all the same. So it is question of which is better.

One phone, one company “saw a sliver of growth”. Against all comers. one company has 30%. Pretty good considering Steve Jobs was aiming for 1% initially. I’ll take that.
