Google CEO Larry Page Says There Are 550,000 Android Device Activations A Day
Google chief executive Larry Page said the Android OS is seeing 550,000 device activations a day. That’s up from 500,000 devices activations per day a little over two weeks ago, according to Android chief Andy Rubin.
Google said Android had seen 100 million cumulative device activations in May of this year at its developer conference in San Francisco. With the figures the company released today, the platform likely has seen roughly 130 million device activations.
The search giant beat analysts estimates today, reporting $9.03 billion in second quarter revenue up 32 percent from $6.82 billion in the same quarter a year earlier. Net income was $2.51 billion, up 36 percent from $1.84 billion in the same quarter a year earlier.
