Trying to find growth? You’ve found it. If you’ll recall, Google’s own Senior Vp of Mobile Andy Rubin confirmed that over 500,000 Android devices were being activated back in June, and through last month’s Galaxy Nexus reveal , we learned that said figure had increased to 550,000 per day. In exactly over a month, the tally has now climbed to 700,000 per 24 hour period. That’s consistent with a post by Andy himself on Google+, which he followed with this:
“For those wondering, we count each device just once (i.e., we do not count re-sold devices), and “activations” means you go right into a store, buy a tool [and] put it at the network by subscribing to a wireless service.”
In other words, there are various, many more Android devices being ushered into use daily that do not hook up with any monitored wireless service, but naturally, maintaining a tally of those is something even Google isn’t about to try. Any guesses as to what this figure jumps to after the vacation season concludes?
