In the first 74 days of sales, the Droid and Nexus One - two phones that use Google's mobile operating system - sold a total of 1.185 million units. That's almost 20% more than the iPhone, which runs on Apple's mobile operating system. Those numbers were released yesterday by Flurry.

To be fair, we really should add in the number of G1, CLIQ, myTouch and umpteen other Android devices sold in the first 74 days that they were in the market. That would boost that 18.5% up considerably, I'm sure.

Google made big news more than two years ago when it announced a mobile operating system that would work with a variety of mobile service providers on phones made by a variety of device manufacturers.

Remember, the news was that a search and advertising company was creating an open mobile OS. The fact that that company ended up making its own device is really much less important.
