Good table. However you kind of gloss over what's going on by saying what the
percentage point increase is in market share not the actual percent increase.
For example, Apple increased their number of units by over 200% from 2008 to 2009, while increasing their market share by 6.2 percentage points while account for 40% of total market growth. Impressive.
However, Google increased their number of units by over 1000% account for 18% of the total market growth. This is why Apple is scared.
