Dubious Study: Android users are dirty, dirty cheaters

Remember that �study� from a few weeks back indicating that iPhone users are having more sexy-time than the rest of their smartphone carrying counterparts? Well, it turns out that they may just be having more of the sort of sexy-times that one would generally admit.

In an equally-quoted-for-sarcasm �study� from AshleyMadison.com (the entire purpose of which is to arrange affairs for married people), the �facts� are in: Android users just seem to love to get their cheat on.

The data:

* Over the past month, 305,623 users have accessed the site via their smartphones
* Of these, 143,000 were Android users, while 114,000 were iPhone users � thats 46% and 37%, respectively.

Now, ladies: before you go kicking your man to the curb because he rocks an EVO 4G, it�s probably worth noting just how terrible this study actually is. Apple has sold at least 60 million iPhones , where as Android�s current count is generally pinned somewhere around 75 million. Lets do the math: 143,000 out of 75 million Android users? 0.19%. 114,000 out of 60 million iPhones? What do you know: 0.19%.

In other words: An Android user�s propensity for the color green and desire for an unrestricted market is no indication of their drive to get some freakaleak on the side. There are just more of�em.
