This graph is fundamentally flawed... it's comparing apples to oranges and as such should not even exist. The whole point of a comparison is to make it such that you are leveling the playing field and making them, well... comparable. But as it stands:
iphone 3G: 21 countries Nokia 5800: around 5 G1: 1 Storm: 10 (and thereafter very staggered) iphone: 25 (inital wave)
And not only that... If I remember correctly, the G1 was only available in "3G Markets" for the majority of that time, up until just recently. So that's definitely saying something.
Seriously. This irks me, after Engadget did a really great, objective job on their Patent story (iphone vs. pre), they follow it up with this piece of junk data? Junk data in, junk data out. This chart literally tells us nothing.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1, much like its Limited Edition sibling that we reviewed last month, is ever-so-slightly thinner than the iPad 2, a slate that most sane individuals (and competitors, for that matter) would confess is the market leader today.

Wasn't the iPhone 3G sold to more countries than the original iPhone...? :P
Why single out that?
How about OS/X, Windows, Android?
How about hard-qwerty, soft-qwerty?
How about black, red, white?
Seems like a fine chart to this viewer...
It's printed in big red. It read: U.S-only, does not include global sales data.

Errr G1 was sold in the UK as well as the US you know...
Err...25 countries? The original iPhone was available in 6 countries.
Dude: clean out the carb occasionally. Maybe it'll cut down on randomly throwing out numbers that aren't pulled from your ass.

you do see the bold red type that says US only, right?
