Android will outsell iPhone

I just read an article about how Google thinks Android-based phones will outsell the iPhone. Well, duh! When you have a half dozen manufacturers and a global launch, it would an embarassment if you didn't outsell Apple.

Google brought up the number of SDK downloads as an indicator of success. Apparently 750,000 people have downloaded the Android SDK versus "only" 100,000 iPhone SDKs. Both are fairly impressive numbers. However, the Android kit as been out for three months versus FOUR DAYS for the one from Apple. And keep in mind that the iPhone kit will only run on Macs (which make up a whole 8% share of the market).

I, for one, can't wait for Android to come out. It looks very interesting and will continue to push Apple to pry open the iPhone platform. But I hope they don't continue the misleading campaign.
