This is certainly good news for Apple in terms of revenue, I just wonder how much revenue they lost when they ended their AT&T exclusivity.

Children having children
I believe in making the world safe for our children, but not for our children's children because children shouldn't be having sex.
iPhone users on the network will quickly surpass Blackberry users by the end of the year.

I've tried a mot droid or two. I tell ya it's not quite the same experience. It's fine, and probably integrates into the windows experience / google mail etc just fine. But it wasn't as intuitive. I picked up the first iPhone on June 29z, 2007 and instantly understood how to use it. These other phones have to go out of their way not to copy the experience and it makes them hard to use. Overly complicated at times. It reminds me of every time I jump on a windows machine I seem to be able to operate it better than the day to day operator, yet still it's a painful experience. I like the consistency of osx. That's the point of an os/interface.
That said, I recently picked up the original mot droid and surfed a few sites I've made with flash. They are mostly eye candy splash page interfaces, but they don't play well on older laptops like a g4 iBook. But they were just fine over 3G on the original droid. Completely viewable and useable. I would really appreciate it if apple simply turned on flash and made it an option whether to use it or not. The newer phones can handle it. Apple truly is just being self serving at this point. If flash is such a battery drain or unusable, let people discover that and demand change. Turning off compatibility just makes it look like the phone itself is incapable.

Just exactly how do you know that? Just because that was the switch from iPhone 3G to 3GS?
Oh look at you all grown up!

WinPhone7 will get its big bounce when Nokia announces that it will be the go-to OS for their phones. (Followed by Nokia acquisition by MS?)
Better math
I adjusted your equation for relevancy
10+ Android Based Phones Launch profits in 2011 < 1 iPhone Launch profits in 2011

Agreed, this isn't surprising at all.
Do you feel this way about everything you buy?
I wouldn't be surprised if the ViPhone has pre-sold 1M to 2Million.
Why do people compare ALL Android phones to the iPhone? All Android phones are not the same.
This is nothing but good news.

9 Billion, eh? So they sold 1.5 phones for every person on earth?

Well, you have to account for all the unused free phones you get in some deals, than people buy a new android every couple of month either to get the latest software update or because they are not happy with that phone
