There does seem to some question about the math, with neutral commentators questioning whether Android has indeed overtaken Symbian or is just behind it. If just behind, then by now an 880% growth rate has pushed Android past Symbian, which now is being dropped.

It will be interesting to see what the numbers show in 2010. Anyone who has a teenager and knows what phones they and their friends all have or want, know that Android is growing unbelievably fast. Even my daughter's friends who have iPhones want the android apps now.
