BTW: Linux is probably the most used OS on the planet. All those Android platforms run a Linux kernel and Java VM.

Which is beside the point - the numbers provided are for desktop environments. There are also stats for smartphones:

iOS: 55.9% (belying your claim above) Android: 30.6%

and the others. (Same source as the first stat).

(Don't forget that while sales of smartphones has been tipping away from Apple, there are about 700M iPhones out there, the vast majority still in use.)

a lot of android phones are glorified feature phones that have android. they aren't smartphones. there are even refrigerators that run android. nobody is going to do photo processing on a feature phone and certainly not a refrigerator.

even the low end android smartphones can't run the likes of photoshop touch, iphoto, etc.

a stat from yesterday was that 80% of black friday purchases made on a mobile device were done on ios. in other words, ios users actually use their phones, rather than just brag that there's linux in it, somewhere.
