We turn to other numbers. Larry Page reported that 550,000 Android devices are now being activated per day. And just 16 days before this number was 500 thousand! The growth rate of Android is increasing by 4.4% per week. In the first quarter of this year, the number of activations per week was 350 thousand, and in the second quarter of 2010 - 160 thousand. Impressive?

Total Android is used on 130 million devices, and the number of downloads from the Android Market is six billion. During the I / O conference in May, Android was used on 100 million devices. For comparison, at the time of the June WWDC, the iOS platform was used on 200 million devices.

Chrome uses more than 160 million people.

Launched this year, the +1 button is already used 2.3 billion times a day.

In the social project Google+, according to Page, more than 10 million users have already registered, and these users create a billion entries every day. It is worth recalling that Google+ was launched just two weeks ago. 10 million users is 1.3% of 750 million Facebook users. For two weeks!

Paige said that he divides products into three separate categories. First, this search and advertising products - the main source of income for the company. Secondly, these are products that are very popular among consumers - YouTube, Android and Chrome. Google invests in them with the expectation of long-term success. And finally, new products - Google+, commercial and local services. In these, Google invests to stimulate innovation.

"All of us at Google want to create services that people around the world would use twice a day ... like a toothbrush!"
