Top-Selling Android Game Grosses Just $23,000 in October
That's a small figure, to be sure, but Android's market share is still just a fraction of the iPhone's. That's sure to change in the coming months.

Could Any Network Have Been Ready for the iPhone?
It's a valid question. Which is why it will be very interesting to see if Verizon Wireless experiences any trouble supporting its Android devices down the road.

Nov 6, 2009 — Verizon Wireless launched its first two Android handsets today -- as if you hadn't heard -- but the HTC Eris is getting lost in all the hoopla about Motorola's much-anticipated Droid. I think the Eris's prospects are solid, given the generally positive reviews and the attractive $100 price point, as well as Verizon's impressive new marketing campaign. It seems that the Droid is suddenly the gotta-have handset for the techie crowd, though, and could go a long way toward reversing Motorola's fortunes. If Motorola is to get as much mileage as possible out of the device's launch, though, it's gonna have to push its brand by investing in some advertising of its own.
