Um, I can say it isn't at the expense of the iPhone, because the iPhone's market share dropped only 0.3% in the MRQ, according to your NPD numbers, and actually went up according to Gartner.

Thus, Android's growth could not have come at iPhone's expense. Ipso facto.

This is irrational. The smartphone market as a whole is growing. But Droids have over half of it. How can you POSSIBLY think it isn't at the expense of iPhone???

I know it's easy to be provincial when you live in Arkansas, but YOY iPhone has maintained its worldwide marketshare while the Android platform has taken share fom Nokia.

Also Android is a platform, iPhone is a product. You can't buy shares of Android. The various Android phones, taken individually, are not doing so great compared to iPhone.

When Apple's capacity to manufacture phones meets their capacity to sell phones we will see the truth.

Until that time market share arguments are null and void.

You can't compare the market share of a company that can't keep up with demand against dozens of companies among whom, are numerous companies who can't sell trivial amounts of phones they've manufactured.
