A little math shows that Android has surpassed iPhone in raw numbers.
Steve Jobs said today that Apple has sold 3 million iPhone 4's in just 22 days. That's pretty impressive, but Google announced yesterday – and at the Droid X announcement last month – that it is activating 160,000 Android devices per day.

Sprint changed its launch day numbers down to the combined weekend totals of its two previous best sellers combined.
The Sprint EVO 4G is selling very well, even if it isn't selling as well as Sprint previously stated. Sprint today said that it had misstated the original numbers by adding an extra 3x in its original statement.
Sprint said on Tuesday the total number of HTC EVO 4G devices sold on the launch day MORE
