But what they don't tell you is that for all you know 30% of iPhone users end up converting and buying Android phones as well. At least 5 people I know when their contracts run out with At&T, 3 of them went to Tmobile and bought a mytouch4G phone and the other 2 are waiting for the Atrix 4G to upgrade. These are the kind of numbers that you will never hear from the Apple paid media. There are many iPhone users that are converting to Android.

I also want to add that the pent up demand for the 4G phones that are coming on both AT&T & Verizon is huge and so I expect a big number of iPhone users will be switching to Android because of 4G. In any case, we'll just have to wait to see what the market share numbers in Q1 and Q2 2011 tell us to get a real idea what took place.
