As Android fans everywhere are really touting the recent statistics by Comscore, it makes you wonder what really plays into these numbers.

While the percentage is staggering, is it really anything we didn’t expect?  I personally don’t see how the Android operating system even compares to Windows Mobile 6.5.x.  (that’s a good thing for Android).  As for Palm and RIM, well they don’t really have the presence as fun phones.  The corporations that hand them out, like it that way, I can only assume.  So until Microsoft finally releases its Phone 7 and we can see if it stacks up, it looks like Apple and Android are the only real players in this specific demographic.

I suppose it is to be expected that if a company like Google brings a handset to market, that it is going to be a hit and grow in its infancy.  Not really a shocker there.

Until the rumors started to fly on Window Phone 7 I was definitely moving in the Droid direction.  Now I guess I will wait a bit longer to see if Microsoft has actually pulled something out of their hat or if it’s all just smoke and mirrors as in the past.

Thanks to www.phandroid.com for the growth update.
