" My prophecies have been right on and within +/- 10%. "

Are you very sure about that?

Let us examine that track record, shall we?

1) iPhone ASP will get slaughtered once the AT&T exclusivity runs out with the Verizon release. WRONG
2) Atrix 4G will be a blockbuster. WRONG
3) Motorola Xoom will be a blockbuster (there will be lines out the door once iit comes out. The pent up demand for a Honeycomb tablet is massive). WRONG (1 million sold in all of 2011)
4) HTC Thunderbolt will be a blockbuster.
WRONG
5) Asus Transformer will be a blockbuster.
WRONG
6) Galaxy Tab was a blockbuster.
WRONG
7) Android will sell 250 million smartphones in 2011
I'LL GIVE YOU THIS ONE. CLOSE ENOUGH
8) Android will have 50% tablet market share by midpoint of 2011. WRONG (I believe your actual quote was Android would outsell the ipad in the second half of 2011)
9) Something will kill the iPad on May 29.
WRONG
10) Apple will ship 15 million iPhones in the current calendar quarter.
WRONG

More? Feel free to add to this list, in your own defense. I tried hard to include some predictions that turned out to be true, but couldn't remember any.

New additions, off the top of my head
11) Original Galaxy Tab sold 5 million STILL WAITING FOR PROOF
12) ASUS Transformer sold 3 million by August 2011 (?) Not even close
13) Verizon sold "millions" of LTE smartphones (?) At the time, it was less than 1 million.
14) Apple would sell less than 30 million iPhones in CY Q4 2011 (?) That sure was a costly error, for Michal
15) Galaxy Nexus sales were breaking records at Verizon The only record it broke was most Galaxy Nexus sales at Verizon
