Droid passes 800,000 mark, sets 1,000,000 milestone in it’s sights?

Could the Droid really be nearing the 1,000,000 unit mark? If data collected by RBC Capital Markets analyst Mark Sue is to believed, the answer to that question is a resounding yet subdued “yes”. In the age of the multi-million selling iPhone, hitting the 7-digit sales mark doesn’t quite hold the significance or weight that it used to. Mind you, it’s still no small feat. While the latest iPhone 3GS sold over 1 million units in a weekend, you have to remember that it was available in multiple countries from the get go. The Droid was a U.S., Verizon only device during the initial push, limiting it’s overall uptake. I’m left sitting on the invisible fence of uncertainty. On one side, 1 million 4th quarter sales is big — huge for Android. At the same time, 1 million units sold isn’t really that much all things considered. Whataya think, is the Droid really that close to the big 7-digit figure and is it really that big of a deal?
