Although Android-based phones are only a modest threat right to the Apple and the iPhone right now, the competition should become much more serious in a few years, says Bernstein Research's Toni Sacconaghi. The analyst points out that Android phones are already trumping the iPhone on a daily sales basis, moving about 160,000 units versus the iPhone's 95,000. Around 120,000 of RIM's BlackBerries are being sold each day.
