"Android Pummels Apple and Blackberry in Smartphone Supremacy Race" is a bit disingenuous when you look at periods when apple did not release a new phone (when most of their sales occur) nor compare the actual platform (iOS) which all three providers now have a tablet form of (Playbook, Honeycomb, iPad).

I find it histrionic and misleading. It's saying "Guy murdered in knife fight" to find out the one guy walked up and stabbed him during a short afternoon nap, and oh, he's not dead, just still in bed.



Verizon started carrying the iPhone in February, so there was a fair bit of time till this data was compiled. I'd be surprised if there's a change in direction the next time data is released.

They picked the period right AFTER apple released a phone (verizon iPhone4) to look at growth. It's cherry picking of the worst sort.
