Their tablet number's definitely out of whack, even if they include dedicated e-readers and if those are worldwide numbers. The iPad's sold only 55.8 million or so, as of the end of 2011, supposedly a 68.7% worldwide market share - meaning only 81.2 million tablets sold worldwide since its release. That chart shows 1.25 *billion* tablets at the moment, therefore is definitely out of touch with reality, even if you include dedicated e-readers.
Maybe I am reading the chart wrong as I only see 150 million tablets for 2012 which I think might be low?
