While it’s no secret that Android sales have been climbing, as shown yesterday, it’s truly impressive to see how quickly its numbers have grown. 2009 was the year people started to take notice of Android — and personally, the year I got my first Android phone. But, as shown in the chart above, Gartner reports that nearly 10 times as many Android handsets were sold in 2010 than in 2009, and its marketshare continues to climb.
Android sales have been strong so far this year, and while the Verizon iPhone might threaten to shrink the Android marketshare growth a little, the upcoming dual-core Android phones and the Xoom tablet are likely to keep it strong. Mobile World Congress is coming up next week, so I’m sure we’ll see many more announcements of upcoming Android devices. Stay tuned, and we’ll keep you posted!!
