" Honeycomb tablets 3 million so far and about to go up exponentially with the quad-core Kal-El release..." Thanks for reminding me, Sept numbers are in, and looks like you're wrong about the 3 million sales figure for Honeycomb. developer.android.com Android 3.0 0.2% Android 3.1 0.7% Android 3.2 0.5% That's a total of 1.4% share of the Android userbase, an increase of only 0.1% sequentually. Looks like the growth has slowed quite a bit, no doubt due to the million Touchpads HP unloaded in a firesale. In terms of raw numbers, Android had a cumulative sales total of 142.5 million at the end of July, so adding another 17 million in August lets us calculate the Honeycomb footprint: 1.4% * 159.5 million = 2.23 million total Honeycomb tablets in use after 8 months, an increase of 380 thousand over last month's 1.85 million. That's the worse month Honeycomb has had since month 2, if I remember correctly, and less than half of July sales. With Ice Cream Sandwich just around the corner, will Honeycomb ever reach 3 million? Will it manage to catch up to Windows Phone 7, WebOS, or Bada, or will it be the worse selling OS in recent memory? Message 27537127
