IPhone + iPad combined sales are higher than Android

> But if you ignore the keyboards and the screen sizes, and just look at all of these as computing devices, what does the market look like?

It looks like Windows is kicking everyone's ass in.

Not if you look at trends. Windows has been around for over twenty years, Blackberry for twelve, iOS and Android for about four. So in the last twelve years Windows has gone from about 98% of devices to 50%. That's not kicking ass.

Seems to have missed iPod Touch sales, and not noticed that Comscore is U.S. only (Android's global share is roughly similar, but Apple's is much lower).

If you fix those issues then both should be about 33 million sales in the last quarter, but Apple can go a bit higher, or lower depending on what you think iPod Touch sales are (Apple doesn't break them out). It would be interesting to see the pie chart with accurate figures (I believe the PC sales are just a guess too).
