Google’s Andy Rubin: Over 700k Android Devices Activated Every Day

Written on December 21, 2011 by Kristoff Jones

Android device activation per day reaches 700,000 and it continues to increase.

“There are now over 700,000 Android devices activated every day” Android chief and Google Vice President Andy Rubin announced publicly through his Twitter account. A significant increase compared to last month’s 500,000 per day.

“For those wondering, we count each device only once (ie, we don’t count re-sold devices), and “activations” means you go into a store, buy a device, put it on the network by subscribing to a wireless service.” Rubin added later on his Google+ acct.

The latest figure shows a huge development compared to last month’s 550,000 daily Android device activations, 500,000 in June and 400,000 in May.
