Android adoption rate increasing six times faster than iPhone
Though Apple is selling millions of smartphones, its iPhone adoption rate can’t keep up with Android says well-known Internet analyst Mary Meeker.
Meeker, a partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, was in San Francisco this week for a Bloomberg event, according to a TechCrunch report. During a quick presentation on mobile trends, Meeker pointed out that the rate of Android adoption is increasing six times faster than iPhone adoption. This rate is up from the 4X figure she quoted in her yearly Internet report that was published in May 2012.

This is only the beginning of the Android upswing, and Meeker predicts that by the end of 2013, there will be 160 million Internet-enabled Android devices, 100 million Windows devices and 80 million iOS devices shipped each quarter. She also believes that the combined, global install base of smartphones and tablets will surpass the install base of personal computers by the middle of next year. If this trend pans out as predicted, then soon we really will be living in a post-PC era.

HTC Thunderbolt Outselling The iPhone 4 On Verizon
Their research methodology was simple: call 150 Verizon Wireless retail locations in 22 major cities and talk to the sales people to get a sense of how each device has been selling.
Here are the results:
61% of respondents said that the two devices were selling equally as well
28% said that the Thunderbolt was selling more units
11% answered that the iPhone 4 was the subject of more sales
Keep in mind that these are not actual sales figures, but rather based on interactions with the people who have been selling the units. Either way its great news for Android and HTC as the Thunderbolt appears to be an early success. Android has been outselling the iPhone for a while now due to the fact that there are so many Android handsets to choose from. However, there was never one device that kept up with iPhone sales on its own, until now.
