ChangeWave surveyed 4,068 consumers in the first weeks of December and found that 21% of people looking to buy a smartphone in the next 90 days want to buy one running on Android. That's up from 6% when ChangeWave asked people in September.
Considering Verizon is spending tens of millions marketing the Droid (http://www.businessinsider.com/the-6-ways-verizon-drummed-up-hype-for-the-droid-2009-12), this shouldn't come as a shock (http://www.businessinsider.com/verizons-big-ad-campaign-for-the-droid-is-working-2009-12). Google is a popular brand unto itself, so it makes sense that people are excited about its smartphones.
Apple remains the smartphone of choice for now, with 28% of the people saying they will buy an iPhone. The BlackBerry falls to third place with 18% — but interest in BlackBerry devices actually perked up. Meanwhile, Palm needs big help.
