Apple responsible for 99.4% of mobile app sales in 2009
My figures taken from Mobile App Store Market Share Based on Usage
The expectation that Android will overtake Apple is a prediction of future growth to 2015, not existing sales.

Apple effectively has 4 products. iPods, iPhones, iPads, and laptop/desktops.

You forgot about iTunes, which is estimated to have generated a revenue of $1.8 Billion in 2009. Sure the total revenue may not be as large as total hardware revenue, but it's not chump change either.

The interesting question is - if accounts from hotmail are deleted due to inactivity, why does hotmail still have double the number of users of gmail (and yahoo mail 3 times as many users as gmail) http://gorumors.com/crunchies/number-of-users-on-hotmail-vs-gmail-vs-yahoo-mail/

1. Because those are most certainly unique visitors per month so deleting old users does jack shit for the numbers.
2. As someone else pointed out gmail is very much a new player and people don't like switching email addresses as a rule.
3. Most anyone who isn't an old fart, see 2, is using gmail.
4. Gmail is gaining users very quickly, see 3, while everyone else is at best staying constant.
5. The people in those other companies know this and have great fun laughing, and cringing, whenever their CEOs mention how "fantastic" their webmail is doing.

The migration to IIS was completed a decade ago. They hit bumps like any migration, but they got it done. All free mail services delete your account if you don't access within a couple of monthis (including gmail).

I just googled it and top link said you are wrong:

Yes, there are a number of reasons why this could reasonably be the case, particularly though we've had a couple of years of slow economic activity which has certainly had an effect on corporate upgrade cycles

The economy has had less of an effect on some computer companies than others. In fact, some computer companies with the ticker AAPL have enjoyed massive GROWTH, despite the economy, which others, with the ticker MSFT have had to write off entire products, to the tune of hundreds of millions after just six weeks on the market.

Guess that's why Monkey-Boy got a pay cut, eh?

TBH though, because of the app-store lock-in, Apple ought to be able to virtually give-away iPads and still make lots of money

I think they make some gravy with the app store, but the average iPhone user buys $80 worth of apps. Maybe the iPad will be a bit higher, and maybe these numbers are a bit off, but right now Apple is only skimming an additional 30% * $80 = $24. Not exactly a slam dunk :)

So why not sell the apps without a cut?

http://gorumors.com/crunchies/how-much-money-does-apple-make-from-app-store/ - suggests they make anywhere between 240-440 million dollars a year off the app store. Vs. Zero if people just played games on Flash websites.

Many app-store games are former flash website games too...
