Yeah but I thought a research firm like Gartner or the IDC would've released their forecasted shipment numbers prior to the earnings releases. Just a ballpark figure is what I want

If I remember these Gartner and IDC numbers uses the official numbers released by companies... so they just make the maths to show the market share and others things but all numbers I read in the IDC Q3 2012 research was official numbers from Apple and Samsung at least (I didn't checked the other companies).
