You are missing the GP's point. No I'm not. I'm strongly disagreeing with that point. The consumer who walks out of the store with an iPhone could just as likely have walked out with a Galaxy S, and vice versa. The applications angle of Android is very heavily promoted, so creating a caricature of a consumer that only wants to casually use it isn't valid. What that means is nearly an order of magnitude difference in app purchasers. What data is that derived from? It's worth noting that the iPhone is very strongly skewing towards free apps as well. As an aside, where did the "1.3M" come from? Apple's recently quarterlies put the daily iOS device sales in the 350,000 range.
