The real reason Android is outselling the iPhone: Android is everywhere

As usual, good old Harry “Unleash” McCracken hits the nail on the head. Last quarter, US sales of Android phones beat the iPhone by about 7 percent with BlackBerry holding onto a 15% lead. OMG! Everybody panic.

The real reason, as Harry points out, is that Android is everywhere. The Droid is taking off and is surprisingly cheap – Amazon has them for $20 – and all carriers have an Android phone. Only one carrier has the iPhone and it’s the “bad” one, yet the iPhone still rules consistently hits the 20% mark in terms of market share. Pretty impressive for one handset on a carrier much maligned in the media and blogosphere, right?
