The number of Android devices that have been activated has doubled in just six months.
That's an even more impressive statement when you realize that six months ago, there were already a whopping 100 million Android activations.
That little nugget of statistical treasure was revealed on Wednesday, where it was understandably overshadowed by the announcement of Google's new digital music platform.
The company also revealed that around 550,000 new Android handsets are being activated every day. That's almost uncharted growth for a software platform that didn't even exist three years ago.
Android is the leading smartphone platform in the world, capturing a majority of the market. Until now, no one has managed to grab more than 50% of smartphone customers since the days when few people understood what "smartphone" actually meant.
