Syl,

I believe that I asked you once before not to post a duplicate post to this board that you have posted or plan to post on the Android board you host or another SI smartphone board. If not, you are now so advised. Please pick your site or sites but do not duplicate a post to this board that you have posted or plan to post elsewhere. TIA.

The sales and share numbers Wolf uses in the report are abstracted from IDC sell-in estimates. Figure 14 on page 18 of the report provides a very good quarterly and annual breakdown (IDC's) by OS platform and in the case of Android breaks it down by 11 OEM vendors and 'others' which I haven't seen elsewhere. In that abstract Samsung nosed out HTC (15.9 million units sold into channels v. 15.7m). The abstract shows smartphones increasing from 14.8% of 1.172 billion total phones sols in 2009 to 21.8% of 1.389 sold into channels in 2010.
