Wake me when any single Android phone passes the single iPhone currently being sold.
The real losers are Symbian and Microsoft. Apple’s doing just fine, haters.
That is not really relevant is it? HTC alone for example, sells lots of different Android smartphone models on the market. It's not so much how any particular model sells. It's how many units they sell altogether, all models combined.

Symbain is virtually non existent in the US. Their smartphone market share here is next to zero. They have very little market share to lose here, given that this survey is only for the US market.
Actually, the NUMBERS of Android phones sold is STILL way small compared to the iPhone and iPod touch... what IPD and AdMob are reporting as surpassing the iPhone is not numbers of devices in use... it is the number of Advertising hits on websites being surveyed by those two organizations ONLY IN THE US out of all websites in the World. There are various reasons for the higher numbers of hits from the Android platform smartphones... but the primary reason is that many of the Android apps are advertising supported, where very few of the iPhone apps are... and even the AndroidOS, being Google, is advertising oriented... while the iPhone OS is certainly not.
