It feels to me like the conversation around mobile platforms is anchored in the past. It seems analysts and pundits can't function properly in a world where markets are diverse, and so every day someone somewhere comes up with a metric which is then presented as one platforms domination another platform. Like this one. And the market for consumers and investors suffers as a result. These are not the "Windows vs Mac" days. This is not a "Google vs Apple" contest, no matter how hard analysts and pundits wish they were. I personally don't care about stats like this because they tell us nothing. They look like they do, because you can pretty much extrapolate to your hearts content to make information like this positive or negative, and only confirmation bias influences which way you lean. I'd prefer it if Analysts and pundits talked more about forward progress in terms of hardware & software and real life product launches, which would make their ramblings useful to consumers and investors. With the exception of a rare few, they're basically just white noise.
