No, there's a huge gap between "activations" and "market share". Activation != market share.

Do you need to activate a WiFi iPad or iTouch? No. Mobile metrics are skewed based on "activation" numbers. It's not even close, iOS is destroying in tablet sales. 2nd is WebOS. Distant 3rd is Android.

So, if you look at the raw web traffic, there's huge numbers on iOS enabled devices vs. Android devices. Just as an example, I've seen Harley Davidson's mobile metrics and it's all iOS. There's such a heavy iOS userbase ... but then you hear, "48% Android", it just doesn't add up.


Again, not a "fan boy". I don't own an Apple Computer. These are real situations from someone working in the digital space for 8 years now.
