Oh it also doesn't include the sales of the Kindle Fire HD either.

I don't think either of these is too surprising at all to be honest.
Mathematically, the Apple tablet share could only go down - everybody and their dog have tried to hop on the bandwagon to put out a tablet in the last two years. And with little success in the scale of the overall market. Sure, there are some sales but nearly every single company has lost money on the process. To be fair, the Kindle is a little different as they're basically selling something at cost to give a tightly controlled window into their store. Isn't 90-95% of all tablet internet traffic from iPads? What the heck are the other tablets doing?
But it's just like the earlier discussion about the "small" iPhone market share: 17% of the marketshare but 80% of the total profits from that market - umm hell yah. Nearly everybody else is losing money just to hold some share of the pie.
As for the phone, I assume demand remains very hefty - not surprising that it make up a large volume of traffic by now. I'd be curious if they broke out the traffic/usage from various models of Samsung phones and iPhones (3, 4, 4s, 5)
That being said, the above is me just musing out loud regarding the business numbers. In hindsight, this is probably not the thread to place this in.
