So, because I'm not "tainted", I suppose I can offer a bit more incite as to why so many people jump on the Apple bandwagon. I see more advertising.
Or...........the MORE LIKELY reason being, POPULATION INCREASES EXPONENTIALLY! There are more people on the planet now than 1 year ago so naturally, demand will increase year over year.
And your comment is about one of the most frivolous, meritless and ridiculously unthought out comments I've ever encountered.
Good job tooting your own horn.........NOT!
And I'm in even a greater minority as a network engineer that doesn't own a cell phone at all so according to your lame reasoning......I have even more insight.

I think I would be correct in assuming that the sales are mostly in the US. Now how can anyone blame Obama ? This would amount to 3 % of the population buying the phone. If you leave out the under 10 year olds, the figure would likely go up to 6 or 7 %. Celebrate ! The US economy is back on track!
