Gruber says "(Eric Schmidt even admitted last week, at Motorola’s Droid event in New York, that only one half of one percent of Android “activations” are for tablets"

The source (http://9to5google.com/2012/09/05/eric-schmidt-1-3-million-an...) says "Google CEO Eric Schmidt announced on stage that 1.3 million Android devices are being activated daily, of which 70,000 are tablets."

So tablets account for more than 5% of Android activations (not one half of one percent)

Sounds like someone made a decimal place error (5% vs 0.5%)

Well 70 000/1 300 000 * 100% = 5.38%, so it seems Gruber made the error. And yeah someone is wrong.

Unless I'm mistaken and 1.3 million is by some weird definition 13 000 000.
