It's quite misleading to have a slide showing Worldwide market share by platform with iOS at 12% and then have the following slides show US statistics (where iOS is at 42% (http://www.macrumors.com/2014/09/05/apple-comscore-july-numb... )). IMHO the presenter should've stuck to worldwide stats or US stats throughout.

[Presenter here] Not sure how it would be misleading when the region is clearly stated in respective slides and in the linked resources. Naturally it's interesting to talk both about global trends and more local ones (like in the US).

That said, for obvious reasons, most research is being done in the US. I'd love to see more surveys and studies target more markets and globally.

Well it's presented as a trends piece, and unless I read the fine print, it's not clear if I'm being presented with US trends or worldwide trends and that changes from slide to slide... Perhaps you made it abundantly clear in the video/in-person, but I think it's a valid point not to have to read the asterisk, and instead just expect things to be consistent.

With that said, I enjoyed the slides.

I hope it was clear in person/context, and I also tried to keep it clear in every slide (agree that reading the fine print shouldn't be necessary).

And thanks, glad you liked the slides!
