why let facts/data ruin a good narrative -- "google is lying to us":

  Another data point that highlights the discrepancy between the incredible 
  device activation numbers claimed by Google and actual real-world usage 
  of mobile devices. Example: Flickr’s stats on popular camera phones. 
  Where are these Android phones? How many of them are used for little 
  more than phone calls and texting?

if you just add up current top 4 models from one (of top 5) android manufacturer, you get 5+ million photos, half the number uploaded by iphone4 (the four models have been on the market roughly the same amount of time as iphone4).

maybe the reason is that android users just don't use flickr. i mean, who still uses flickr?
Integration with picasa is so easy with android that i wouldn't be surprised if many people just defaulted to that.
