Re: Re asdf: Incredible!

IDC Smartphone OS Market Share suggests iPhones have < 20% market share with a total of ~1.2 billion smartphones shipped each year that is 240 million iPhones. tablets show a similar picture with iPad market share of 25% with 200 million tablets shipped each year that is 40 million iPads. So yes I would guess your figure of greater than a billion is defensible depending on average lifespan of an iPhone.

For Android on the other hand you would need to multiply those numbers by approximately 4.

Lets just be happy that bugs are being fixed.
