Samsung Galaxy Tab & Microsoft Windows Phone Sales: Sales to Carriers, Not Individuals

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab has been hailed as the Android tablet breakthrough success of 2010. It appeared to provide the kind of market category kickstart for Android tablets in 2010 that Motorola’s Droid provided for Android phones in late 2009. This all hinged around claims of 1 million units sold by December 2010 and 2 million a few weeks later in January 2011. However, according to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) there was a bit of numbers word play involved.
