That's a measure of the iPhone’s amazing success, not Android's.

Orwellian Applebot logic at its best:

Apple has been making consumer products for over a massive 30 years. Google has never made even as much as a keyboard before in their entire lives. In just 2 months, Google introduces a smartphone OS, then lroceeds to totally clobber Apple's iPhone in market share, and is even now accelerating even more in smartphone sales {200,000 Android devices sold every day }, and somehow, its Apple that is “amazing” not Google?
ROFL!
Apple has been making macs and other consumer products for as long as I can remember. Remember the Apple Newton? That was over 20 years ago.

But not a cell phone. Unlike other consumer electronics devices, at the time you couldn't just design and manufacture a cell phone and sell it. The carriers were all-powerful, they dictated the terms, the features, the design. ALL of these other manufacturers have Apple to thank for breaking that mold.

Google has never made even as much as a keyboard before in their entire lives.

And Google still doesn't make a phone. The one Google-branded HTC phone has been a flop. Established manufacturers such as Motorola, HTC, LG and Samsung do make phones, and are selling their phones with Android on them very well.

BTW, Google designed their own servers, and sells search appliance hardware.

Agree if by 2 months you mean 2 years, and by "totally clobber" you mean just edging ahead. Clobbering is Apple going it alone and far surpassing their COMBINED smartphone sales in six months.

Remember the Apple Newton? That was over 20 years ago.

Who is the one who has a problem with facts? You, as usual.
