If you're talking about tablets, that's not even slightly true.
Apple marketshare is down 10% over the last year to 58%. Android is up 10% to 39% over the same period. Doesn't look like anyone's clocks are getting cleaned; looks like Apple just had a head start and an initial marketing bump.

If you're talking about smartphones, it's an even more untrue claim. Android marketshare is at 53% for new sales, and iOS is down to 29% as of December 2011.
