you cant talk about biased statistics, and then use admob as a better source.

Agreed. You have to realize AdMob isn't even providing proper support for BlackBerry in their APIs.

While I agree with you about AdMob, his point isn't that the numbers are bad, it's that the metric is bad. Smartphone sales are not nearly as meaningful a metric as a browser-usage distribution based on measuring page or ad impressions.
