I predict, given the explosion in Android devices, that Android will overtake iPhone within 1 year. Takers?
I think it depends on what's meant by 'overtake'.
Given the number of handsets being released at the moment, plus the fact that Android is making its way to other devices like the Archos5, Zii and possibly some netbooks, I think that the number of Android devices will exceed the number of iPhones in a couple of years.
If by 'overtake' the OP meant 'be better than', then that's too subjective a question to ever be able to answer. For me personally, the iPhone is not a good fit and I think Android is already 'better' (again, for me).
There's no denying that the iPhone is a great platform and will remain hugely popular - competition between the two platforms will make them keep improving rather than sitting on their laurels.

Never say never
Remember that both iPhone and Android are coming to China though - the iPhone with Unicom who have 'only' 100 million subscribers, and Android (with handsets from several manufacters) with China Mobile who have over 400 million subscribers.
