Why Astronomers Will Help Google Android Grow 900% in 2009

According to new estimates from Strategy Analytics, Google’s Android operating system for mobile phones will outgrow competitors this year.

The company predicts shipments of Android-based smart phones will grow by 900% this year, while Apple’s iPhone will achieve a measly 79%–poor things.

Of course, when your market share is less than 1% and only available on one phone, it’s easy to see how Android will achieve its growth.

So, where’s this growth going to come from? Our money is on Astronomers!
