Google's Android army: Droid X 'sold out'; Nexus One sales to end - San Jose Mercury News: "Motorola's Droid X — the newest smartphone running Google's Android operating system — 'sold out virtually everywhere' over the weekend at Verizon Wireless stores, an analyst reported Monday.

In an e-mail to clients, Gleacher & Co. analyst Mark McKechnie said his team called 20 Verizon stores across the country over the weekend to find the phone sold out by Friday or Saturday at most locations. All 20 stores were sold out by Sunday, McKechnie said. The Droid X debuted Thursday.

'We are encouraged by positive early feedback, strong initial demand, and general acceptance of Motorola's Droid X,' McKechnie wrote. 'Our first weekend checks, along with expectations for a Droid 2 follow-on for the holidays, increase our confidence that Motorola can meet or exceed its 12- to 14 million unit target' for Android phones sold this year.
