I'm not able to tell if the [1] link there is "shipped" or actually "sold to consumers" — they seem to talk about selling 1.2M but shipping the 1.8M by the end of the year. Since I doubt all of those are being sold right away, I'm not sure how that adds up. Same for [2] — does Rubin's "out there" mean shipped or sold to customers?
- fpgeek 15y agoI thought ASUS was being clear in [1]. They've sold 1.2 million so far and plan to ship at least another 600k by the end of the year. At this point, they can't count those 600k as sold since that would be predicting the future. As for [2], I'd expect Andy Rubin's number is based on the number of tablets accessing Google services [4] (which isn't surprising since that is the number Google can most easily observe). Given that, it seems clear to me those 6 million count as sold.
