Although it may come as no surprise, the boss of Google (who designed Android) has said that finally the Android OS running phones are now ahead of the all powerful iPhone. Google’s executive chairman Eric Schmidt addressing the LeWeb conference in Paris yesterday said that, “Android is ahead of the iPhone now.”

Is Android taking iPhones crown?

So what evidence does he have to backup the claims? Schmidt said that Android has overtaken Apple in the smartphone wars thanks to a number of factors including, “unit volume, Ice Cream Sandwich, the price is lower, there are more vendors.”

He continued, “Ultimately, application vendors are driven by volume, and volume is favoured by the open approach Google is taking. There are so many manufacturers working to deliver Android phones globally. Whether you like Android or not, you will support that platform, and maybe you’ll even deliver it first.”

He also said that within months, developers would be releasing apps on the Android OS before Apple devices. Presently most big apps come to iOS first then Android, but he said, “six months from now you’ll say the opposite”.

Of course it is only to be expected that the CEO of Google is going to big up Android even if he thinks iPhone is the more polished product. Android is becoming a phenomenum with over 200 million Android phones in circulation and over 550,000 handsets selling every day, but Apple is still reigning supreme and i’m sure they will not just sit still and watch Android steamroller them.
