That works out at 6 million Androids sold a every single month, giving you 18 million per quarter.
By comparison, Apple sold 8.4 million iPhones in the last quarter (the quarter before that that had 8.75 in iPhone sales).

The Android does have one advantage over the IPOD: Verison vs AT&T. Given the abysmal performance of my company-issued Blackberry over the AT&T network, I’ve learned two things: I’ll never purchase a Blackberry for my own phone, and I’ll wait until Apple moves the Iphone to a network designed by competent RF engineers.

We’ll soon be switching over to Droid from Blackberry. I like Verizon’s service, it just works, however the Blackberry is just too damn slow and limited.

I just hope I don’t break it, I’m a little rough on phones...

That’s a lot of devices! I know I’m enjoying my iRobot $130 tablet... Fun little device, and the battery life is actually quite good!

[downwdims]

I just love that it’s customizable and rootable. Not to mention you can make it a hotspot and sniff packets.

Do you think Apple’s model with the iPhone was designed for market dominance? Or more like their model in computers, a smaller market share but large profits?

200,000/day is high volume, high production velocity for a product that complex.

Damn stupid people over at Apple, huh Joe? /sarcasm

You must really have a bad case of envy! Do you wear a sock in your pants?

Apple Market cap as of yesterday close: 240.25 Billion

Yep, damn stupid! /sarcasm again!!!

And we welcome our new Robot Overlords.

oh.........it’s a phone?

I have a Palm Centro. Talk about backing a loser. I got it because I thought it would be a seamless transition from my palm tungsten. I should have known, there is never a seamless transition in technology.

I’ve been thinking about getting an iPhone, either the previous generation - the 3g, or the new iPhone 4. Maybe I should look in the Verizon store and see what the droid can do.

I need it for a business tool, to interface with calendar, task list, and addresses, as well as email and internet. It also serves some personal functions - photos, etc. I miss being able to read books on the device, which I could do with my tungsten, but there is no ereader app for the Centro, as I discovered to my dismay.

Anyone have any thoughts that could help me decide?

I just heard on the radio yesterday that while consumer spending in the USA is stagnant or decreasing, the only thing bustling is electronics.

This fact leads to a number of interesting analysis, but I don't even want to go there.

Toys "R" Us?

I'll be a lot more when the tech is perfected.

I tried out the Google Nexus One phone and it’s not quite there for me yet.

For example, you can’t get more than 30 days of mail from an Exchange account (though Verizon Android phones don’t seem to have this limitation).

On my iPhone, I can use Cisco Mobile to connect into my company’s phone system and use my iPhone like a desk phone. When I have to travel, I can VPN in and use it to avoid long distance calls. There is no way to do that on Android yet.

Also the GUI on the Android needs some polish IMO. Possibly I’m just used to iOS UI.

I will keep following Android and re-evaluating it. Maybe 3.0 will bring the features/apps I’m looking for. They are getting close. Until then I’m content with iPhone.

Switched from a Blackberry to Samsung Vibrant 3 weeks ago. It is an unbelievable phone.

It is kind of sad to realize, that who we are is locked up in a phone and on our computers.

[mkleesma]

As I work in the tech field, I'm rarely bowled over by new tech toys...however, I did pick up the Droid X, and I'm really impressed - not only is it a great phone, but it does so much more. If you only make calls on your phone, it's not worth buying; but if you want a music player, GPS, wireless hotspot, corporate and/or personal email, etc., I highly recommend it.

I can’t wait to see how much cash Google will pay Apple when they settle the Google-Apple patent lawsuit.

With Android doing so well, who knows, it might reach $5 billion.

[ßuddaßudd]

Kudos to all the manufactuers who supply components for these cool gadgets.

[wideawake]

The stupidest thing Apple ever did was to go with AT&T.

The iPhone could have been the PC of phones, but it will now be the Mac.

[fatez]

The part of the story not told, Microsoft is toast with their phone, I don’t care what it does, their done.
