The most informative comment on the original article was this:
"Maybe, but I bet they are talking about units shipped or sold into chain, not sold retail. As assistant manager of an electronics outlet store, I see 30+ iPads leave the store every day, sometimes more, and we are often sending people away to wait for the next shipment. This is a city of only 300,000 and we are not the only seller. We've had the Galaxy Pad in stock for only a short time now, a couple of weeks, but have sold....ZERO. NONE. People complain mostly about it's form: thick, kind of heavy for it's size, too small (or too big - that was my own thought, as it seems 'almost' pocketable). It's not a bug, it's a feature?"

- stan_rogers 16y agoThat +1 was not so much for the comment itself, but for not folding yourself into Halifax. I had the pleasure of living in Eastern Passage, Dartmouth and Halifax a couple of decades back, and every one of the old cities and towns has its own feel. (And yes, dammit, I miss the area. It's like living in a small town, except that there's one of everything a city should have handy.)
- recoiledsnake 16y agoThat's just an anecdote, not data. Samsung has confirmed that it's devices sold, not shipped.

- cormullion 16y agoCompare "Samsung has confirmed that it is [the number of] devices sold [that the number refers to]." with "Samsung has confirmed that its [Samsung's] devices have sold in quantity." I think the snake was right. :)
- mhartl 16y agoGood Lord, I'm mortified, and apologize to the snake and to everyone else. It looks like my anti-it's zealotry has finally crossed the line. Face <-- egg
- mhartl 16y agoI apologize for my previous flippant grammar-Nazi comment. I was on thin ice as it was, but that I was also wrong—that is inexcusable!
- ergo98 16y agoHow is that informative? That it supports your gut feelings? There is nothing informative about that. It's notable that Canada is remarkably iOS centric (one of the most anywhere), so values here don't necessarily translate- http://gs.statcounter.com/#mobile_os-CA-monthly-200911-201011 http://gs.statcounter.com/#mobile_os-CA-monthly-200911-20101...
