Yup.
Android's 886 Percent Year On Year sales increase is stunning and highly impressive. At this rate, Androids would have left the iPhones far, far behind by this time next year. Heck, even by Christmas this year, Android's will be far ahead of the iPhones in market share.
“One company with one carrier is doing this well against several companies across all carriers. compare”
That “one company” has plenty of carriers all over the world, including Korea and a gargantuan cell phone company China. These are worldwide figures. No “one carrier” here mate. Lots of carriers.
As market share grows larger, huge percentage growth becomes more difficult (if Android were 10%, there's no way it's jumping to 90% in a quarter).

The iPhone 4 was only available in America for those few days it was on sale during 2Q, another reason why the 2Q number is unusually low. Thanks for reminding me. Conversely, many Android phones (Hero, Cliq, Galaxy S, etc.) are released overseas before they are released here.
The figures that Antirepublicrat was quoting was for the sales of the iPhone 4 in the United States alone... no other country got the iPhone 4 during the roll out, Joe. None got the iPhone 4 until more than a month later. 1.7 million iPhone 4s sold in 3 days stand... as does the way smaller numbers for the Android phones, which were also only rolled out in the US.
