"This quick and dirty spreadsheet..." indicates just how stupid the author of
this article is. From the title of such propaganda, the author would seem to imply that the
Apple iPhone is somehow different than any other wireless phone.
I guess
the author's article goes to illustrate that any data presented out of context is worthless.
