4 times the sales.... of what 4 overall in the beginning? I hate when PR firms use things like "n times" or "% increase"... I want raw numbers.

WinPhone was selling like real crap. After all, they were barely 1% of the entire market previously. So a "4 times" increase is what... 2% of the market? While I'm sure any uptick is good for the company and frankly their new commercials are really done well. But until I see them hitting 10% of the market... they are still dead.

1 x 4 = 2

great schooling.

1% OF THE WHOLE MARKET!!! It didnt' say they grew 4x of marketshare.... just selling 4x the number of phones. But that would not be directly equal to full market share.

great schooling.
