"the numbers above do not lie... " Honestly, I have no idea what those numbers mean. Are they share of installed base or share of new sales? And really, I have no interest in trying to calculate unit sales from obtuse market share estimates when we know the unit sales directly from the horses' mouths. And it's not a 5:1 ratio. If you can't reconcile Google and Apple's actual reported sales numbers with some 3rd party research, the 3rd party research is wrong. I honestly can't believe we are going through this again. Last time, you tried to tell me that some digitimes rumor about ASUS sales had more credibility than ASUS's actual earnings statements. That's what happens when you pick and choose what to believe based on what they say.
