More bad news for Android fanbois:
"there’s a dirty little secret about Android devices that most manufacturers are facing: the
return rate on some Android devices is between
30 and 40 percent"
This is for handsets so far as I know.
http://techcrunch.com/2011/07/26/an...ing-numbers-are-strong-but-returns-are-30-40/
30-40%? Frankly, I find that number a tad high but maybe our resident Android fanbois can come up with a rebuttal?
OMG!! LOL you made me spit my coffee all over my keyboard and monitor.....and i have to curse you for the mental image you conjured up for me.......
All of a sudden i got this image of you(Nibs) furiously masturbating to this ridiculous article EEEWWWWWW!!! damn, I had to quickly find some beastiality porn to get rid of that ugly thought...."Donkey Dong4" did the trick ...whew....then I read the article again to see if someone actually wrote that.....HAHA they did!!
one of my favorite parts was when he revealed his sources....
However, on the ground, many return rates are approaching 40% said a person familiar with handset sales for multiple manufacturers
my guess that his source might have been "The Onion" but failed to realize the satire in it LOL
The article further loses any sense of credibility when they manipulate information from respected websites and in a very Danibler way change the facts to suit their purpose......
As we learned yesterday, Samsung is selling 18 to 21 million phones this quarter. Although all of those won’t be Android phones – Samsung manufactures Bada phones as well for the low-end
if you can find in ANY of these articles where it is about ANYTHING other than "android" and "smartphones" that they are talking about, then you can join nibs and techcrunch in a mutual masturbation session....
