Analysts can’t figure out iPad sales, pretends it doesn’t exist
Charles Arthur, in Guardian:
Why does NPD ignore the iPad, though? It’s the tablet that is actually selling well. Comparatively well. And as Gruber also points out, the whole “76% of consumers who purchased a non-Apple tablet didn’t even consider the iPad” is a meaningless statement until you know how many consumers did buy an iPad. Then you find that it’s 76% of 11%, or 8.3%. Which means that even among the people who bought a TouchPad, at least half considered the iPad first.
Clearly, people in the US who buy tablets tend to consider the iPad in their purchasing decision.

Apple takes 48% of smartphone industry profits
Apple may be shipping less than 5 percent of the world’s mobile phones and “only” 14 percent of worldwide smartphones but according to a research by Asymco, it managed to grab almost half of the entire industry’s profit share.
While Android fans are cheering the massive rise of their platform through multiple vendors and models, Apple quietly moves towards enlarging its bank account with what is essentially one phone.
HTC isn’t included since their numbers aren’t as comprehensively available as the other manufacturers’.
Market share vs profit. Pick one.
