iPhone gets all the glory, but there are plenty of Android phones activated every day, worldwide. This quick visualization (below), from the Android Developers themselves, shows just how that growth has gone over the past few years. It starts with a worldwide view and then zooms in on countries for a closer look. Keep an eye on the top left corner for phone launches.
I’ve got a Droid X myself. No complaints.

Kinda pretty, but illustrates the need for suitably dramatic music. Try the same thing with a mashup like this:

Better, n’est-ce pas?
Also, on the global view, check out the tremendous activation spike in Korea just before the end. Amazing.
Hehe, that is better. Nice, Gerard.
yeah, definetely better. I thought the same exact thing: there is some dramatic music missing
cool stuff :)

LOVE my Android phone. Husband has an iPhone and we’re constantly at odds about whose phone is better. =)
