Now that Apple is getting it's clock cleaned in the smartphone market, time to focus on how awesome the iPad is. Wait a couple years, iPad will be 15% of the table market, then Grubertool will have to find something else to focus on.

Did Gruber made your Android phone cry? lets keep the "tool" part out, please. Completely unnecessary. Gruber's point is obviously biased towards Apple but it doesn't lack truth or facts. NPD report is sketchy at best and gives a distorted view of the current scene, which is the opposite of what this kind of reports should do. As for the marketshare it's interesting because so far what we are seeing is that the iPad is not behaving like the iPhone but more like the iPod. It makes sense, after all. The phone market its heavily subsidized and people choose phones based on carrier availability and special deals. A lot of the growth of Android can be attributed to 2x1 deals, middle range phones that are not used as smartphones and the lack of iPhone on Verizon and Sprint until recently. Im not saying that Android isn't a great OS or that Android phones can't be awesome and cutting edge -lots of them are-, just that when you analyze the Android growth you cannot discount these things.
