More Motorola devices, including several with front-facing cameras for video conferencing, are slated for release later this year. Sprint's EVO, another video conferencing-capable Android handset, has been on sale for just a few days and is already sold out and breaking Sprint sales records, too.

Additionally LG, a company that had previously committed to releasing Windows Mobile handsets, has stated it will release 20 Android handsets this year alone.

Ever since the Droid's launch last November, its sales figures have rocked the mobile industry. Manufacturers and carriers might well see this hot, new breed of Android smartphones as a fiscal shot in the arm; with the notable exception of the Nexus One, we've seen quite a few dazzling successes in this market.

It'll be interesting to compare sales between some of these Android devices and the upcoming iPhone 4. We reported last month -- before the iPhone 4 or EVO releases -- that Androids as a whole were outselling iPhones. Do you think the greater range of choice between carriers and handsets will give Android manufacturers the ultimate advantage in the smartphone wars?
