"Android Pummels Apple and Blackberry in Smartphone Supremacy Race" is a bit disingenuous when you look at periods when apple did not release a new phone (when most of their sales occur) nor compare the actual platform (iOS) which all three providers now have a tablet form of (Playbook, Honeycomb, iPad).
I find it histrionic and misleading. It's saying "Guy murdered in knife fight" to find out the one guy walked up and stabbed him during a short afternoon nap, and oh, he's not dead, just still in bed.
Verizon started carrying the iPhone in February, so there was a fair bit of time till this data was compiled. I'd be surprised if there's a change in direction the next time data is released.

This is just a side note, but how many non-tablet devices do you see sporting Android or BlackBerry OS?
Just saying in this case comparing only within the confines of the phone market share makes perfect sense.

They picked the period right AFTER apple released a phone (verizon iPhone4) to look at growth. It's cherry picking of the worst sort.
