Sorry Custodian1V31, I disagree. Unit sales of either are only really relevant for the OSes.
Demographic of user base is significantly more important for a specific application.
Individual one is a player of PC games, question is do they buy an Apple PC (Oh yes they are
) ?
Answer: Nope, not in general, as they tend to give less power for the buck.
Did the same person buy an Ipod/Iphone..of course they did, gamers love gadgets.
Will/did many get frustrated at Apples "control issues" ?....you bet your behind.
I'm one of them..had an Iphone from the get-go. Not anymore, Android does everything worthwhile that the Iphone could AND more. I went with the HTC Hero and pleased I did.
I think OS4.0 from Apple needs to hit soon and hard or they will (as analysts predict) be playing second fiddle in 2012.
In finishing, I suspect the installed userbase as it stands contains more likely purchasers than the iphone. Android is a geeks (mobile) wetdream after all
