I don't disagree with your central point, but it's worth noting that in the UK the iphone is on many carriers and is being heavily outsold by Android phones.

- moultano 16y agoFor completeness, do you have a source? I'd heard the opposite, and would like to avoid misrepeating this in the future.

- shrikant 16y agoI honestly would like see a citation/source too. [Warning: anecdote masquerading as data ahead] I've been in London for a couple of months now, and travel by the Tube daily (primarily the Piccadilly and District lines, fwiw). In the commute, at the workplace, or simply just walking around, I see more iPhones than Androids. Way, WAY more, about an order of magnitude more! I often joke to my friends back in India that if H2G2 was set in modern day London, then Ford Prefect would've been named Apple iPhone instead.
- NickPollard 16y agoMy experiences agree, BUT, London is not representative of the UK as a whole. Also, people on commuter tubes into central London are not even representative of all the people in London. Also, if anything, I think I still see more Blackberries than iPhones or Androids.
- shrikant 16y agoAlso, people on commuter tubes into central London are not even representative of all the people in London. I find that interesting, care to elaborate? I was under the impression the LU is the lifeline of London (from my admittedly brief stay here). Maybe you could drop me an email, seeing as how OT this seems...
