AT&T Posts Record Numbers, but iPad Activations Lagging [Money]

So, completely unsurprisingly, AT&T made a ton of money last quarter-$31.4 billion. Chalk that up partially to the 4.1 million iPhones they activated. But don’t chalk it up to the paltry 442,000 tablets switched on.

The 442,000 figure includes both iPads and Android tabs-and since we figure the latter has been relatively negligible within the US (compared to the former), this represents a lovely staggering split between those opting faraway from Apple’s 3G model in favor of Wi-Fi only. A Apple sold 7 million iPads last quarter . That’s a global number, but although you’re taking a fraction of that, an excellent large section of 442,000 is on the meager side. [ AT&T ]
