They aren’t releasing numbers…or even initial estimates. I have the same doubt on the Nexus 4.

That might not hold for early 2013, but I wouldn’t say it’s gaining versus Apple in these figures.

They actually did drop, and IOS skyrocketed, due to iPhone 5. So, for that quarter, IOS had the largest marketshare, and it was a new record for Apple.

These are the new dumb flip phones.

You have to remember that on Android you can change the user agent of the browser to be anything from desktop to even iOS devices, so this falsely lowers the number of Android devices being reported as browsing the internet. I, for example, always have my Android tablets set for desktop browsing. Only my phone is set up for “Android” and I don’t use it as much to browse as I do my tablets. That means that, though I may be browsing on my Nexus 7 or my Transformer Prime, the user agent will be read as “desktop” and not as an Android device. Yet, I’m using an Android device to browse the internet.

Numerous other metrics show the same thing. As far as a supposed web presence Apples own forums are filled with unexplained web traffic from its devices. Believe whatever you want. Its not a holy war

Plus, it’s very easy to masquerade as a desktop on android. not to mention, going to traffic stats would take into account existing devices moreso than new sales.

I just agree… Troy`s remark is inconceivable, yesterday I bought a gorgeous Acura after earning $4030 this past five weeks and in excess of ten-grand this past-month. it’s certainly the most-comfortable work Ive ever done. I began this six months/ago and almost straight away started bringin in at least $70, p/h. I went to this website,

If LG had the forsight to make the N 4′s in large quantities their sales figures would look nice, the Gnex sold in the millions, and made a bigger name and footprint for nexus and they made it look like it was some novelty by mot mass producing it
