850K Daily Android Activations, 300M Total Devices, Says Andy Rubin

Andy-RubinExplosive growth. That's Android. Google's mobile platform is up 250 percent over last year and, according to Andy Rubin, SVP, Mobile and Digital Content, Google is seeing 850,000 activations every day. In all he states there are 300 million Google-sanctioned Android devices roaming the world, 12 million of them tablets. That number doesn't even include devices like the Kindle Fire that do not use Google services.It's all about the ecosystem, notes Rubin on the Google Mobile Blog. Last year at Mobile World Congress, there were more than 150,000 apps in the Android Market. Now, in the early months of 2012, there are more than 450,000 apps available. Schmidt might have been right. Android is getting so large that devs might start producing apps for Android first rather than iOS.
