IDC's spotty track record...

Their crystal ball will turn out to be hazy for Android, BB, and Windows Phone, but it was crystal clear for iOS. Lots of people underestimated how dominant Android would become in bringing smartphones to the masses.

From where we sit now, I think their latest projections into 2018 seem plausible, but I agree that one should not base investing decisions on them.
