Android chief Andy Rubin has said that there are now only 700,000 Android devices are activated each day. That's a big increase from the summer of this year when every day more than half million devices were activated. Rubin also specified how the number of activations is measured, something is always much discussion about it. Each device is measured only once, so if a device is sold is not included. If you buy a new Android device and log in to Google it's an activation.That every day more than 700,000 Android devices are activated is impressive, especially with the clarification of Rubin that old devices being sold are not included. The last official figure to come out was 550,000 activations per day, a number that Eric Schmidt said last week at the LeWeb conference.
Google's mobile operating system is growing at a rapid pace and the question is whether perhaps ever 1 million activations per day are going to be achieved. The main competitor to Android seems IOS. When Apple introduced the iPhone 4S launched she was the first day to sell one million copies (with sales). Throughout the week, that 4 million iPhones. With 700,000 activations per day, every week nearly five million Android devices in which the majority still telephones.
