accerate with Android 4.0 which makes it possible one code to run everywhere.... can you say 200,000 apps in no time???

Because everyone knows an app developed for a phone layout doesn't need to be customized much differently to be optimized for a tablet screen. Well, an Android developer probably thinks that anyways.

Much ado about nothing: 159.5m vs 162.5m


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.


vs. your estimate


so that puts the number at 162.5 MINIMUM


I'd be more concerned with the 4.98 million unit descrepancy between the number of Tabs you "know" Samsung sold vs. what Lenovo discovered. Besides, you know the Tab was a loser-- you got rid of it pretty damn quick yourself.
