It seems that for the first time, smartphones running on Google’s Android OS have outsold the iPhone for the first time in the U.S.

Google’s Android-based smartphones accounted for 28% of smartphone sales, while the iPhone accounted for 21%, according to market research firm NPD.

I can think of MANY reasons for this. The iPhone is only on one US carrier (AT&T) and is at the end of its product life so sales would be naturally down (in my eyes) as more people will be waiting for the next generation iPhone.

It’s still quite an achievement for Google and the Open Handset Alliance but I suspect things would have changed back to the iPhone at number 2 once the next gen iPhone is released!

It has some nice features such as:

• Versatile Add-ons
• Multi-touch Pinch Zoom
• Thumbnails Flick Menu
• Tabbed Browsing
• YouTube Downloader
• Gesture URL Commander
• Bookmarks Sorting

I’m going to spend some time with it and see if it is worth changing from the default browser to Dolphin. If you want to try it out or for more info, check the link below!

Choose which playlists to sync.

This screen lists all your playlists and lets you choose which playlist to sync with your Android phone. I chose my Nexus One playlist and proceeded to sync my playlist. (continue reading…)
