More secrets revealed: Galaxy Tab’s uninspiring U.S. sales numbers
- jmillikin 14y ago> The discrepancy in numbers occurs again in the second > quarter of 2012. A research report from IDC last week > showed Samsung sold 2.3 million Galaxy Tabs worldwide. > The court documents show that in the U.S., between April > and June, Samsung sold 37,000 units. The IDC report says that Samsung shipped 2.3 million units. Once again, an idiot tech blogger is unable to comprehend the distinction between "shipped" and "sold". Any company can ship a few million units, given a sufficiently large supply chain and capital reserve. They've only been sold if a customer has bought one, and held it through the refund period.
