200,000 Android Devices being activated daily – Google CEO
Last time we heard, it was 160,000 devices, it is quiet a jump from the June numbers. Today, during the Techonomy conference, Google CEO Eric Schmidt announced that 200,000 Android phones are being activated each day and revenue from mobile advertising easily covers the cost of Android development for Google.
