Since the Android vs. iPhone battle is still going on and neither of the two approves the other as the victor, you can expect a side to tease the other that can cause jealousy. Two days ago, Ziggytek mentioned Steve Jobs, recently announced Apple had posted another record quarter with its significant sale of 8.4 million iPhones (3 million of which are the iPhone 4). You’d probably be pretty impressed by this, right? Good, that’s what most people want you to be too. But what you don’t know, is that most of them have hidden a part. Let’s hear the other side of this story as described on John Batelle’s Searchblog about Google, which will sure open a whole new chapter to this story:

“3 million phones in 23 days – that’s a pretty strong clip, the fastest sales of an Apple phone to date, Mashable reports. If I do the math, that’s more than 130,000 phones a day.

But did anyone in the press notice Google’s little announcement, the day before Apple launched its iPhone 4? This one? The one where Google said, and I quote: ’Every day 160,000 Android-powered devices are activated — that’s nearly two devices every second.’

Yep, that’d be 30K MORE phones a day than Apple. And my guess is that Android’s pace is accelerating, while the iPhone 4 is probably sliding downward, given how many folks bought it at launch (Mashable reports that 1.7 million were sold in first three days, so 1.3 million the next 20 days). In fact, if you do THAT math, and divide 1.3 million by 20 days, you get 65,000 iPhone 4s sold each day, which is nearly 100,000 less, PER DAY, than Android phones.”

It seems like that’s a huge up for Apple with its 3 million figure sale of the iPhone 4, but actually that wasn’t that impressive after all. Google got its own secret weapon and at the current stand of the battle, Google is the one that won’t have to fear low Android phone sales. Google has again become the lead in the battle. Current score? 1-0 for Google.
