You're a trip, man. I admire your enthusiasm and love of all things Android, but there are other opinions out there...to each his own, different strokes for different folks. My point all along has never been about handheld device marketshare, that's a given that Android rules there. It's called market saturation. There are a lot of numbers out there, and you can research and present them in lots of different ways. That's the only reason I posted what I did. It took me zero time to find what I posted, I get these from my Twitter feed, among other sources of data I get constantly (I research and purchase technology products for a living for a major University/Research Enterprise). I don't take any of these articles or surveys as fact. A sharp person knows how to digest all of this information and get a good picture of the reality. The trend is that iOS is not declining, it is on the rise, in particular in tablets and with developers working on applications for enterprises like Healthcare, Hospitals, Universities, Retail, Airlines and pilots, etc. That's the main point I am making. People work differently these days, at the office and at home. Just because someone is used to doing things a certain way does not mean that's the only way it can be done. The misconception that "real work" can only be done on "real" computers or non-iOS devices is changing, rapidly. Not everyone works the way you work. But you have found what works for you, and that's great. Doesn't mean it is the only answer for everyone else.
By the way, I don't use an iPhone (boring, but I am very tied into iTunes, so at some point I may just say what the heck and get an iPhone for simplicity) and I have never had an iPad (no real need for one), and I have never owned a Mac product. I have, however, had an iPod from day one (hence the reason I am heavily tied into iTunes). I've had 3 Android phones, have rooted and customized each of them every which way from here to China and back. I use what I like and what works for me, that's all there is to it. When I finally get around to buying a tablet, I will most likely buy an iPad for use mainly as a media device, but I like their media creation apps and possibilities as well, and the screen is pretty amazing. And I am also about to get a Kindle Fire, mainly for my son to play games. They are cheap, a good size for his little toddler hands, and I like how it is tied in so well with Amazon and their services (not unlike Apple and it's services for iOS devices). The first thing I will do is root it and customize it, since I plan on using it as well, and so does my wife, and we want to have a device that will "just work".
