t is the 250 million (a quarter of a BILLION phones) in just 1 year that is mind blowing, just be keeping up with market growth (assuming that the market continues to grow by the 90% it grew in 2010) You are doing the calculation wrong. Android sold 67 million phones in 2010 (per Gartner). 90% growth from that base would be 127 million units in 2011 (not 250 million). But yes, I agree with you, the smartphone market grew to 300 million or so units in 2010. There will not be 570 million sold in 2011, so Android's share is probably safe.
