Google activating 700,000 Android devices daily

Google says that it’s approaching a total of 250 million activated Android devices worldwide. That’s getting close to the entire population of the United States, represented in Android users.

TechCrunch reported that Google has sized up the number of Android devices it says are being activated daily to 700,000. Back in June, the number of Android devices activated each day was 500,000. Not only is Android sweeping into expanding smartphone markets all over the world, it’s even increasing the speed of its growth.

Android is seeing some big growth in Europe and emerging markets in Asia; an analysis from Gartner last month found that Android devices accounted for about 53 percent of all the smartphones sold in the third quarter of 2011. The company also announced recently that its Android Market had hit 10 billion app downloads, showing that all those Android phones floating around the world are converting to app sales, as well.

Though Apple and Google are constantly battling for supremacy in one arena or another when it comes to the mobile sphere, at least in the growth category, Android is still leading by a considerable margin.
