I find the rationalizations made in these iPhone/Android threads fascinating. Not sure doing so is healthy though.

  Agreed. One of the delights of ambiguity is that it allows one to project one's own prejudices into the data. Allow me: For example, what does it mean that 31% of people want an Android phone but a whopping 50% of them buy one? Is it because the lower price is compelling undecideds to switch? Or is it because carriers promote Android in-store because the advertising rev. share is more profitable for them (see http://paidcontent.org/article/419-androids-secret-sauce-googles-little-known-advertising-rev-share-deals-/ http://paidcontent.org/article/419-androids-secret-sauce-goo...). Or is it simply that Android simply kicks ass? Or all three? But, on the other hand, what does it mean that the Android installed base is 37% greater than iPhone, but Android browser share is only 10% greater? Does that indicate that some people aren't using the smartphone features of Android, and instead are just buying them as cheap phones with cool cameras and email?
