When Google's (GOOG) Android mobile operating system started making noise at the end of 2009 with a flurry of handset shipments from multiple wireless carriers, all signs pointed to a healthy 2010 for Google's platform. Indeed, the Motorola Droid from Verizon Wireless and the Nexus One, sold by Google itself, also made a lot of noise recently. But it seems the familiar "iPhone killer" phrase has surfaced once again.
When Google CEO Eric Schmidt told attendees of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in his keynote speech that Google was seeing 60,000 daily shipments of handsets using the Android operating system, that caused a small pause with many folks. At that rate, Google's Android would be seeing shipments of 5.4 million per quarter. By contrast, Apple's (AAPL) iPhone sold 8.7 million units in its most recent quarter. Can Google really get up to sales speed that quickly? It seems to be happening.
