On June 28, Andy Rubin from Google
announced that the number of activations of Android devices exceeded half a million a day. Today he announced that this number had grown to
700,000 . This means more than 29,166 activations per hour, 486 activations per minute, or 8 activations per second.
Andy Rubin explained that each device in the statistics is counted only once, at the time of registration in the operator's network after buying a new device. It is not counted again, for example, in the event of a subsequent resale of the device and activation in the network of another operator.
The number of cellular subscribers in the world is about 4.6 billion. If every ninth change their Android phone to a new model every two years, we will get 700 thousand activations per day.
