Blodget's comparing apples and oranges a bit; the timeframe in the Dan Frommer piece he links to is year-over-year, not the last three months, which is what the comScore numbers look at.

But it's true: If you throw in the iPod touch, iOS's share does fall year over year. How can that be? Because while iPod touch sales did grow a whopping 27 percent (or "only grew 27 percent" if you work at Business Insider), Android sales grew more.

Hmm. Why might iPod touch sales growth fail to keep up with Android in the last year? It's almost like Apple introduced . Something with , just with a larger screen. Hmm, ? OH, WELL.

Yeah, so, if you include tablets, iOS its market share from 26.95 percent to 27.49 percent (assuming a , which may overstate it for Android since Samsung, the bulk of the Android-based shipments, subsequently backtracked on its figures). Still, there were about 1.87 million more Android-based devices shipped in the quarter than iOS-based devices.

that the most recent comScore numbers--the ones Blodget is trying to make hay with--only include the first three weeks of Verizon iPhone sales, which seem to account for a decent uptick in the iPhone's numbers. Further, Apple's increase was the largest of any hardware manufacturer. So, while iOS may not have accounted for as many units sold as the amorphous and somewhat unwieldy blob colloquially referred to as "Android," the iPhone saw a bigger increase than any other phone.
