160,000 Android Phones Sold Daily, Market Nears 70,000 Applications
,----[ Quote ]
| Speaking earlier today at the droid X
| launch, Andy Rubin (Google VP of
| engineering) said that Android phones are
| being activated at a rate of 160,000 per
| day. Yes, that's almost two activations
| for every second of the day, every day.
| What's even more is impressive is the
| speed at which the figure grows. Vic
| Gundotra broke the news at Google I/O last
| month that the number was at 100,000.
| Going back a few months to February, we
| were looking at 60,000 per day.

Seriously, why do you still have an iPhone?
,----[ Quote ]
| And that's my point. Surely the iPhone is
| the best phone for some people. However, we
| are a society that prefers choice because
| nothing is one-size-fits-all. There has to
| be a better phone for most than the iPhone.
| Sales are beginning to show this is true,
| as Android is quickly overtaking Apple.
| Yes, that has a lot to do with the
| proliferation of Android across 30+
| mainstream devices and Apple having only
| one. Yet this goes to further my point:
| given the choice, you should go with the
| device that makes the most sense to you. As
| fans of open source, I cannot fathom how
| the iPhone can be an easy decision for you,
| the opensource.com reader.

| Take that, along with an average of 160,000

Cheap Unlocked Phones

| I have an unlocked Nexus One with a pre-
| release of Android 2.2 âFroyoâ, and I have
| a T-Mobile mobile data plan from Google; I
| imagine that, like most big companies, we
| get a pretty good deal on it. As of now,
| Iâm never paying for Internet in a hotel or
| airport again.

Googleâs Android Gaining on Apple via Developers
,----[ Quote ]
| Google Inc.âs Android mobile operating
| system is winning over an important group
| of allies in its fledgling rivalry with
| Apple Inc.âs smartphone software:
| application developers.
|
| More than half the 2,733 developers
| surveyed by Appcelerator, a mobile-software
| tools provider, see Android as having the
| most long-term potential among operating
| systems. About 40 percent of respondents
| said Appleâs iOS would have the best long-
| term outlook, according to the survey
| released today.
