Is The Motorola Droid Already Beating Out Apple’s iPhone?

I ride the bus to work everyday, a bus that’s 99.9% filled with other commuters also heading to to Loop, and I’ve noticed something: there are a lot of Motorola Droid phones on my bus.  Sure, there are a good number of iPhoners, but the Droid has swept in pretty fast and has taken a visible share of the bus-that-I-ride market.  Now it seems, when I see white headphones, they’re usually attached to an iPod, not an iPhone.

And maybe that’s the catch.  The bus I ride is filled with commuters — many of these are probably company phones.  Most companies that I’m familiar with use Verizon, because they have the better network.  Only companies enamored with the iPhone use AT&T.

Maybe the question is not “is Android winning?” it is instead “when will Android win?” because unless Apple ditches their exclusive deal with AT&T, it’s only a matter of time before Android phones start dominating the market.  And if the Google phone rumor is true, we’re about to see a serious shake up of market’s landscape.  I’d think twice before betting on Apple.
