"You don't sell 300,000+ handsets a day targeting the geek demographic."

You are missing the GP's point. The majority of those 300k handsets are being sold to people who want a nice phone that can browse the web. They need a cell phone and, if it can do something else, great. It certainly doesn't mean they are cheap, just not focused on the same things.

One the flip side, the majority of Apple's 350k iOS devices are bought by people who are buying the whole package, including the app marketplace.

What that means is a large difference in app purchasers. Sure, the demographics are the same, but the market segments are VERY different.

EDIT: Too early to do math. Fixed my numbers of iOS devices sold.
