Analyst firm NPD reported this morning that Android phones surpassed sales of the iPhone in the first quarter of 2010. Android had 28 percent of unit sales, compared to Apple's 21 percent. Both operating systems lagged behind RIM's BlackBerry OS, which had 36 percent of the unit sales.

NBD credits Verizon's Motorola Droid and HTC Droid Eris and Verizon's buy one-get-on (BOGO) promotions as leading the push. Can't argue there, and it's reasonable to expect strong numbers again in the second quarter with the launch of the Droid Incredible.

I am so glad. The Android phones and BlackBerry are far better than the iPhad, I mean the iPhone.

2. It's because everyone is holding off to upgrade to the new iPhone due this summer.

When it comes out the Droids won't know what hit them. Hardly a fad, the iPhone is the most intuitive, smooth and innovative device ever.

3. I wonder how much of the problem is AT&T?

I went with a droid in part because I didn't want AT&T.
