Google's Android races to the top
When we attended Google IO in early May Google announced that Android activations had hit the mind-blowing rate of 400,000 devices per day. About two weeks ago Andy Rubin announced that activations had increased to 500,000 per day. In yesterday's earnings conference call, Google founder and CEO Larry Page said the company is activating 550,000 Android phones per day now. Comscore released data last week that 49% of all Smartphones sold in May were Android. Google also released that Android activations have reached 135 million devices, with 400 models available globally.
These are staggering numbers that must even make Apple worried. I would not want to be at RIM or Nokia and be processing these numbers and evaluating how to survive.
From LifeSignals perspective, we continue to be validated that we chose the right operating system to launch our Mobile Health Platform. Our rationale was low cost, open source, and diversity of suppliers. We are fortunate to have made this decision and will reap the benefits as a Google continues its amazing growth.
