The copy in the article confuses two terms – sold and shipped. Apple provides SOLD numbers (17 million last quarter) while the non iPad numbers are SHIPPED. Anyone in an industry where there’s an actual sale of goods knows these are very different things.

Will be very interesting to see what impact the Nexus 7 has on the market. Very interesting indeed.

Maybe Apple has lost smartphone market share on a quarter-by-quarter basis, but it’s never lost share on a long-term basis. Slow but steady, the iPhone is still growing.

It’s probably inevitable that Apple will lose marketshare in tablets eventually, just as they have in smartphones. What I find most surprising in these numbers is that Motorola did not even place. While Apple is strong, other US tech giants (Motorola, Dell, HP) are completely non-existent, whether they choose to participate in these markets or not. If it were not for Apple, I’d be pretty bearish on US tech hardware overall. The fact that a retailer like Amazon is lapping these companies in both cloud strategy and mobile devices is pretty sad.

It would be nice to see how Windows 8 and surface tablet change these features
