Forgive me being picky, but...

Top Smartphone OEMs -- I expect to see company names, which each one aggregating their various offerings.

Top Smartphone Platforms -- I expect to see PLATFORM NAMES, not more company names. WTF?

"Android" is a platform.
"Apple" is NOT a platform.
"Microsoft" is NOT a platform.
"Blackberry" is NOT a platform.
"Symbian" is a platform.
Seriously, WTF? Are journalists now so completely ignorant of the language that they can't tell software from the company who makes it?

Years ago my dear, late mother-in-law, working as an admin assistant, used Word Perfect for Windows. She constantly referred to it as "Microsoft".

MIL: "Hi, I'm having trouble with Microsoft. Can you help me?"
Me: "Sure, Mom, have you been talking with their tech support or something?"
MIL: "No, no, it's this darn Control key, it won't do what I want."
Me: "Oh, okay, what program are you running?"
MIL: "Microsoft."
Me: "Microsoft WHAT? Word? I thought you liked Word Perfect..."
MIL: "Microsoft. I'm running Microsoft."
...
It got to be a running family joke. THIS WAS IN 1989. That was 26 years ago, she could be excused. There is no excuse today.

'Scuse my rant.
