Does anyone else think there's something strange about these figures?

There's still more iOS tablets being sold than Android, so how did Android manage to gain market share? Surely for that to happen, Android would have to be selling substantially more units?

Would love to be enlightened on this!

They're talking about share of current sales, not share of installed base.

Ah, current sales would make sense. Thanks for pointing it out.
