AT&T has announced their third quarter earnings and we just wanted to highlight a few things we thought were note Android worthy.  Check out the details below from their conference call and feel free to comment as well.  Note that the overall sales of Android devices more than doubled year over year and more than half (4.8 million) of the handsets were non-iPhone devices.  During the third quarter only 2.7 million iPhones were activated.  If I don’t sound surprised, it’s because I’m not :)
