What are you talking about, they are saying SIII sales will be around 60mil this quarter alone even the most optimistic Apple # won't likely surpass 60 mil...
And I don't get how good this news is suppose to be, 8mil give or take sounds like a very small number.
After Googling, I assume you're trying to reference this article:
which says 60M smartphones of which they estimate 15M GS3's. There's no point in trying to trick people with ridiculous numbers when they can easily look up and rebuff your statements.
Regardless 15M GS3's are still a lot of phones, but in this context will not come close to iPhone 5 sales.
and 60M smartphones sold include craptastic Android devices too.
Honestly, this person has way too much time, and he did say he is a pro, meaning he is a pro at trying every new product on the market. I too am a pro but my time is worth more than the time it take to keep learning new products and how to use them. I have switch from one product to another and I measure success on how long it takes me to learn how to use it. So if I can pick it up and use it immediately without learning anything about it then It was a very successful product. Simple point of this every Android phone and software version required a few minutes just to figure how to make a call, and I am on my 4 android phone and have used ever version of Android software. That is just learning how to make a call forget about all the other things. So that is a failure in itself.
Also, Android sell lots since they are given away, and people are just replacing an otherwise useless android phone just to be replace with another one since the old one can not be upgrade to the new software. Android took a less out of M$ playbook, add new software features which required hardware to be updated, thus helping your hardware partners make more sales.
So, you tell me how long does it take people to move from one phone to the next and how long does it take for you to get everything from the old phone to the new one.
You can not measure success on someone who gets off on challenge of changing hardware every time something new comes out.
Hit the phone icon and lo and behold a number pad pops up.

Assuming if the icon looked the same and was in the same location on every software release and hardware release. Which is was not. With Android you our in a perpetual experiment to see if they can make it slightly better.

This is what I have been telling people it feels like. The recent Toshiba commercial with the guys that says it is unethical to use unproven technology on people, it is the perfect image to think about when you think of Android

Must be pretty damn stupid not to find a icon with a phone on it? Do people all of sudden don't know how to drive a car when the gear shift is on the steering column instead of the center console? People are pretty good at figuring stuff out you know.
AT&T and Verizon sales people have been pushing terrible phones since the beginning, and I can only imagine them having a party when the Maps kerfuffle started.
They're going to go with what benefits them most which of cost is money. A uneducated consumer is his/her worst enemy.
Please read the post carefully. There is nothing that states 8million iPhones were sold. That is a number some guy is forecasting. Per this article the numbers on what was sold iPhone vs other phones has not been released:
