• 3.9% Android’s worldwide market share at the end of 2009
• 17.7% Android’s projected market share by late 2010 source

• » And it gets better: Slowly but surely, Android is gunning for the 900-pound gorilla in the market, RIM. In the most recent quarter, Android had sold 27 percent of all smartphones in the past six months, topping iPhone’s 23 percent share and closing in on BlackBerry’s 33 percent share.

To compare, Apple sells two iPhone models for high margins. Of course Google’s going to own the market.
