Motorola sells 250,000 Droids in a week

Not a bad return for the iPhone pretender one Verizon alone.

Analytics firm Flurry made the projection, and says it's four times more than HTC and T-Mobile achieved with another big Android release, the MyTouch.

Flurry derived an estimate from the number of new Android handsets it detected downloading apps. Its VP of of marketing Peter Farago said: "The launch of Droid signals the beginning of a viable platform alternative to the iPhone as Android builds critical mass.

"With Droid, Motorola has raised the bar for Android handsets, contributing to an ever-growing base of Android handsets upon which applications developers can build a business."
