Once again Google shared the statistics of the growing popularity of the Google Android platform. According to it, 160,000 devices pass daily activation (4.8 mln a month).
Activation means the input of user’s data from the Google services after which the regular Android OS service clients start working (synchronization of the address book, calendar, letters, Android Market and so on). This figure has increased by 60%.
The amount of software offered by Android apps developers is also growing – from 50,000 up to 65,000 applications as of the end of June. According to the Google’s management, the given dynamics can be considered positive and shows that the platform is welcomed by users. Moreover, Google is sure that the Android OS will become the top mobile OS and will probably replace Windows if we compare it with the PC market.
It should be noted that Android communicators are really sold very actively – now quarterly about 15 mln of them are sold and for the first quarter of 2010 were sold about 54 mln devices, according to the analytics from Gartner. Against this growth, the success of Apple is very illustrative – thus, according to some statistics, the number of people wishing to buy iPhone 4 on the first day reached 600,000 people.
