I doubt very much that it is irrelevant to Astak, but it is a number we will never know, as even Amazon's numbers are estimates by third parties.
I agree 100% with the rest of your post, and it was very clear and probably quantitatively accurate.

Thanks, and yes, it is hardly irrelevant to Astak. I was focused on the actual question, not the background data. As my partner always says when I complain about some operational issue associated with having to fulfill orders -- we should be so lucky that our problems revolve around having too many orders to fulfill in a timely way! Astak should be so lucky that they have too many orders to be able to run a quick QC check before shipping!
On the # of units issue -- there was a thread in the News forum here about the Cool-er sales. The conclusion seemed to have been that the actual news article was misleading (not a million units sold but a million pounds/euros in sales, or around 5,000 units). Not that the Pocket Pro and Cool-er are equivalent, but they are probably similar enough in scope for rough estimates.
