Android Phone Growth Slowing or Just in a Fall Lull?

Fortune’s Seth Weintraub asks:

Has Android’s growth slowed down?

His rationale? Android smartphone activations are about the same per day now as they were back in early August – a bit over 200,000 units per day. My first theory was that people are waiting for Gingerbread or Honeycomb. But, I dismissed that theory immediately since the vast majority of consumers do not know or care which Android release is on their phone.

We might be able to make a few educated guesses if we had, for example, activation figures from those months for Apple iPhones and RIM BlackBerry phones.
