I just read this article, "iPhone triples Android in mobile market share" and felt compelled to respond to the fallacy within it, and the idiot people who don't understand how to read data.
In fact, both Android and iPhone platforms gained two percentage points, not simply grown by two percent. Thus, Android has gained market share FASTER than the iPhone.
26% / 7% = 3.71x iPhone market share over Android, Q1-2009
28% / 9% = 3.11x iPhone market share over Android, Q1-2010
Given that the iPhone was released 1 1/2 years ahead of the first Android smartphone, it should make sense that Android's platform would be behind that of iPhone, in terms of market share. On October 23, 2008, this article could have easily read, "iPhone 10000x Android in mobile market share", the first day Android phones went on sale.
