Android Activations More Than Doubled in Past Year

All Things D: At its I/O conference, Google revealed some new statistics about the Android mobile platform. To date, users have purchased 400 million Android devices, and Google is activating 1 million new Android devices every day. At last year's conference, the activation rate was less than half of that--400,000 per day.

“We’re activating about 12 new Android devices every second of every day,” said Google's Hugo Barra. “Four hundred million is a pretty huge number, but we’re definitely not slowing down.”
