Android still the top OS dog, has double the share of iOS

Not at what it proves.

Android OS is an open OS that is on many devices Apple only has one so how why even make this news? Actually this looks bad for Android because they shouls have a much larger shar than this. Apple has 28% of the share with only 1 device.

not just one device. this is including tablets on the 28%

It includes ALL ios devices, that means:

iphones 1, 2, 3, 4
ipods, 1, 2, 3, 4
ipads 1, 2

the share of iphone 4 by itself is MUCH MUCH smaller than 28%, look at the chart:

It's only 13%. So, 28% - 13% = 15% of the traffic comes from ipads and ipods. Of the 13%, that also include iPhone 3GS, since Apple is still making and selling those. The actual iPhone 4 share is even smaller than 13%!!!

Only in August, Millenial has started counting both smartphones and tablets, and understandably Apple’s iPad gave Cupertino a push as it dominates the market. RIM’s BlackBerry ended up third with 13% of all impressions.
That means in that chart iOS consists of the iPhone 1-4, iPad 1-2, and possibly all iPod Touchs.

You need to stop using that argument on the fact that Android OS has so many devices while Apple "only" has 1. Apple can make more varieties, they just chose not to. That defense is flawed on its own.

Apple hater here, saying that including the iPhones 1-4 both iPads, and the iTouches, Android is still available on many more devices.

However is it really about popularity or should it be about which OS suits the INDIVIDUAL best and lets the consumer feel OK about which company they give their hard earned dollars to.

So what if Android has more devices?
It was a direct response to iKingTrust's "Apple has 28% of the share with only 1 device."
I respond when there's ignorance in user-posts, not into a battle of loyalty between brands.

Not one device... How many are still being sold? Verizon has 4 phones, AT&T has 3 phones and that is not including ipads

im done wasting my time on this. You all know iOS is the best. Not even the biggest Apple hater can deny iOS. You might not like Apple but iOS is amazing. SO f@@##ing what you cant customize? Jailbreak and get on with life.

My jailbreak allows me to customize more than any OS. Thank you.

No.... it actually doesn't. iOS was great 2-3 years ago, but now it's just "uhh, you again?"
It's actually still one of the most limited customization after JB.

Really? Your iOS is the best, yet you have to break your beloved iOS user agreement to do what you want to do.

I can definitly understand why your done wasteing time. The amount of contradictions that your head has to ignore would be quite tireing.

iKingTrust, facts are facts & even if you jailbreak an iPhone the customization is VERY limited. I guess you have never jailbreaked your iPhone huh? If you have then you would know that fact. I helped jailbreak my buddies iPhone 4 so it would work on T-Mobile & you know what he STILL can't do a fraction of what I can on Android. SO "im done wasting my time on this. You all know iOS is the best. Not even the biggest Apple hater can deny iOS. You might not like Apple but iOS is amazing. SO f@@##ing what you cant customize? Jailbreak and get on with life." Dude you sound like a little girl who is talking smack while hiding behind your mothers skirt! lol

WEAK like the girl on your avatar! lol

Not everyone cares about superficial customization.
