50 million iPhones™ sold + 35 million iPod™ touches = 85 million iPhone™ OS devices
by Rene Ritchie , Thursday, Apr 8, 2010

Steve Jobs reported today that Apple had sold 50 million iPhones™ and 35 million iPod™ touch for a grand total of 85 million iPhone™ OS devices on the market (okay, 85,450,000 including the iPad™).

Jobs said this was a great target for developers. He's right. No matter how many complaints there are about iPhone™ OS and Apple's stewardship thereof, that's a tremendous install base of devices that can pretty much all run the same OS (give or take a few features here or there) and same apps.

That's huge.

How many Android™ users are there?

8,450,420 Android™ phones have been sold worldwide since its release in October 2008 up to the end of 2009. This is according to a report published by the market research firm Canalys on February 8, 2010. Assuming that phone sales translates to the number of users, this would mean that there are more than 8 million Android™ users worldwide. (Data from numberof.net)
