Over 850,000 New Android Devices Are Activated Each Day

Andy Rubin, Google's SVP of Mobile and Digital Content, reveals that over 850,000 new Android devices are activated each day giving the mobile operating system a year-on-year growth rate of more than 250%. Rubin also notes that the total number of Android devices worldwide has exceeded 300 million.

Last year at Mobile World Congress (MWC), we announced that there were more than 150,000 apps in Android Market. That number tripled to more than 450,000 apps today, with over one billion app downloads happening every month. Think about the astonishing number of songs Shazam'ed, places Qype'ed and foursquare mayorships! To celebrate the hard work and success of our developer community, we've built special "app pods" into our Android stand at MWC. Many of these featured apps demonstrate the latest Android innovations, such as Android Beam, which lets you share content like web pages, videos, directions, and apps-just by touching two Android phones back to back.

At a shareholders meeting in Cupertino last week, Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed that iOS now has over 550,000 apps available in the App Store.
