Yes, for some reason they do not mention the number of Android phones sold a day, though this is still an interesting number. Apple, Google and Microsoft are all playing the numbers game, Apple only talks about iOs devices sold (not iPhone, iPad, etc...), Google talk about activations, and Microsoft are happy to talk about kinnect numbers, but not their phones.
- Seth_Kriticos 16y agoThe difference is, that iOS devices have a much stronger bounding to Apple and can be put in direct revenue numbers. For Google, the royalties and sales shares of the platform is not as important as having it out there, seamlessly integrating into their online offering. As such, they don't even have these numbers, they just see how many people connect. For them it basically means: "we have 300k more people every day who are surfing our cloud".
