A new chart from anlayst Horace Dediu shows that we're at an inflection point -- where shipments of devices running Apple's mobile OS overtake those of Windows PCs for the first time.
Newsbrief: Analyst Horace Dediu, who runs market research firm Asymco, noted today on Twitter that shipments of iOS devices overtook Windows PCs for the first time ever last year.
