GOOG and its partners seem to be focused on the US. AFAIK none of the EU carriers are spending anywhere near as much as VZ or Sprint on Android marketing.

- ZeroGravitas 16y agoIn the UK Android is everywhere, but only since about July (the date of those figures) when Carphone Warehouse shops were plastered with the little green Android figure (rather than carrier specific branding like "Droid" that the US apparently opts for). The number of devices seemed to explode around that time too, with Galaxy S and refreshes of the HTC and Motorola lines. And if you follow stories about dirt cheap, but still impressively spec'ed low-end handsets like the Orange San Francisco (aka ZTE Blade) I don't think you'd find it unlikely that Android will rapidly overtake iOS here too.
