This is now 3 sources claiming iOS has greater share than Android, and even if they are a bit outdated, it's proof that the 60% share vs 15% share cited in many articles refers only to the phone wars (most articles I've seen eventually mentions the words "smartphone").
There is no real confusion, except what you seem to be trying to create.
The BRG report is using one companies analytics product (which is embedded in apps). Plainly that is more popular on iOS than Android, but we've seen that before - most people on Android use Google Analytics, so 3rd party analytics aren't reliable when comparing them.
The Statcounter stats clearly show Android and iOS are within a couple of percent (note how Android was above iOS a month or two ago). Given that the iPAd is the most popular tablet on the market (and people browse the web on tablets a lot more than on phones) this makes it even more likely that Android is ahead in units.
Your stats refer to smartphones only whereas mine specifically says iPod touches, ipads, and iPhones. Given that the company doing the research is the same in both, but the labels are different, this difference could hold significance. Furthermore, if your table actually means what it's supposed to, it would mean android went from 10% share in February to 42% share in June.
Also, there are many factors at play as any Stats student knows. Simply making assertions that android users are misrepresented could be dangerous.
