There are Android tablets. Why is it unfair to compare the Android OS to the iOS?


Google has made public announcements saying Android isn't ready for the Tablet yet. Just because some manufacturers managed to get it working on some doesn't make it equivalent to the sponsored and ready-for-retail iPad. It's the equivalent of someone hacking the iPhone to work on Verizon and then Google trying to claim that the carrier argument is now null and void. Even if you factor in tablet activations with phones, Android wins. Why?...

You're also conveniently ignoring the iPod Touch. iPhone sales have historically accounted for only a little over half of total iOS devices. In terms of phones, Android activations dominantly win, no matter how Jobs feels like playing around with the numbers.
