Smartphone Showdown: Google Activates 500,000 Android Devices Daily
At Google I/O on May 10th, Android Boss Andy Rubin tweeted that Google was activating over 400,000 devices daily. Statistics show that Google activates about 500,000 android-based devices daily and this is growing at a rate of 4.4%. Do the math and you’ll end up with 1million in october. Android is currently the world’s biggest moblie OS.
This is going to be a tough one for Apple as we look forward to seeing even more powerful devices with larger RAMs, better screen resolutions, cameras and improved speed as more versions of Android are released. On the downside, Google hasn’t released what percentage of the 500,000 devices are tablets and what percentage are smartphones. We do know however, there are way more Android phones being activated than Android tablets. Maybe 5,10 or 20 Tablets on a daily basis?
So what do you think? Is Google winning the Mobile OS battle at the moment or are they going to see some competition from iOS 5 when it is released to the public?
