Oh, come on. You've got a massive runaway success in the iPhone with a huge amount of mindshare. Are you really telling me that you believe that without Android most of those new smartphone buyers (at the higher end) would have gone to RIM and Win 7, and Apple would still be sitting on 18.5% at this point?
