I think your numbers are about profit, not number of units sold. Compaq makes
more money on every iPaq, but there are still much more Palm unit sold than
iPaqs.
Also, there has been a surge in iPaqs sales recently because Compaq has finally
been able to deliver units that had been ordered before. This will not happen
every quarter.
