I don't really understand all the comments saying "of course it's growing extremely fast, it's a new platform". The point is that a year ago it wasn't at all obvious whether Android will become one of the major mobile platforms - now it's practically certain. Yes, there's hyperbole in the article (what do you expect from a site called "Android Phone Fans"), but I really don't understand the attitude that, since it's a new platform, its growth is somehow self-evident. Many (most?) new platforms never take off - how's Palm doing, for example? See: http://metrics.admob.com/2010/01/metrics-update-android/ http://metrics.admob.com/2010/01/metrics-update-android/ and tell me that's not a curve most platforms can only dream of.
