You're comparing Android sales to iPhone sales in the iPhone's worst buying season, though. Expect the iPhone numbers to blow up when it's been one month instead of ten since the last hardware refresh.



The link actually shows that this (100k/mo) was the iPhone's best quarter to date. They sold more in Q1 2010 than they did in the quarter when the 3GS was introduced.


Fair enough -- iPhone sales are up despite it being an inopportune time to buy an iPhone. This doesn't exactly refute my point.


Apple's Q1 includes the winter holiday season. I'd wager normal people don't know or look at a manufacturer's release cycles. They know the gift-giving cycles.
