Droid (Sales) Blowing Up
Don't worry, it's not the batteries that are exploding. But if third-party data is any indication, sales might be. Location network developer uLocate, creators of WHERE, saw about 25,000 active accounts using its software. Traditionally, uLocate is installed on about 10% of launch units. Multiply it out and you've got a healthy estimated 250,000 Droids out there. Not iPhone level, sure, but not a bad first week considering the Palm Pre sold 300,000 in one month.
