Tracy, what astonishes me is the cadre that denies the existence of the Android tide. If your own vendor tries to report shipments rather than activations while the competitor publishes activations that exceed your own vendor's shipments by an order of magnitude, people with their heads in the sand are going to get wet. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
