Given that they have nothing to validate their numbers against, how can they claim that they're 'quite .. accurate'?!
- dagw 17y agoThey've used the same method for other phones, where the manufacturers have eventually released sales numbers. If their numbers are accurate for those phones then they can make assumptions about the accuracy in this case.
- andrew1 17y agoBut you can't say that a prediction is accurate until you have the actual data. They could still be wildly wrong in this instance; for example Nexus One users may be the early adopter types who will install loads of applications, thus artificially inflating the perceived number of phones out there. Until Google actually release figures about how many were sold the prediction can't be classed as accurate or inaccurate.
