Android starting to get noticed!
Even Admob is starting to realize that Android is taking off. In a very short period of time it has eclipsed Palm according to their own (flawed) figures. Check out Erick’s article in TechCrunch. Take the numbers with a grain of salt because Erick’s estimate of 1 million G1s sold is way off. For example, the UK surpassed 1 million handsets a month ago. The US and EU numbers are far greater. I have noticed that most folks in the Bay Area simply have never seen a G1 and as a result they can’t believe the numbers they are hearing. Think of the G1 as the Walmart phone – if you shop at Walmart you have seen one, if you don’t you probably have not. Once cupcake is released, watch out…
Well I’ve seen the 1 million number for G1 units sold, and seen people disputing it. The 1 million number is probrably correct for USA. But I can’t seem to find regional numbers. Can you tell me your sources for the figures you mention?
Many thanks.
Well, our numbers are from users using our application. Each time a user scans something we know they are out there.
