Android already surpasses iPhone

[Arsilon]

There is a bit of skew to these results since Apple has a single device from a single cell service provider while Android is spread across multiple devices across multiple providers. So its not surprising to me that Android would outsell iPhone compared at the OS level -- although how quickly it has caught up might be a bit of a surprise.

That being said I know several people that have Android devices now -- many of which took part in the Verizon special offer that was mentioned in the linked article. I think I probably know more Android users than iPhone users actually. Then again I live in an area where Verizon service is much more reliable than AT&T's but even if I look at my more distant contacts in other parts of the country this is still probably true. In fairness, most of the people I know from other parts of the country are probably work related contacts where Blackberry would be the norm.

I love my Android device and my wife arguably likes hers even more. I've haven't found anything that can be done on an iPhone (that I care about) that can't be done on the Android (although I'm still waiting for the promised OS upgrade on my particular device to get free turn-by-turn GPS navigation and I have one built into my car anyway.)
