To say that Android will seize some percentage of the market by 2016 is baseless, especially if you're basing it on yesterday's numbers. "Research" like this is fatally flawed for one simple reason: 2016 is five years away. The way that tech is moving these days, in five years most of the current platforms will either be replaced or will have evolved into something entirely different. Keep in mind that five years ago we didn't even have iPhone at all. This is the same reason that I laugh when I see a company planning to "overtake Product X" in five years -- it shows a misunderstanding of how quickly this market is moving. The future is rarely like the past, and unless you're innovating, you're losing.
