The platform strengthens its leading position on the market

If you were wondering how well Android fares these days, you have nothing to worry about. The platform is selling very well, and the number of devices being activated each and every day is increasing fast.

In fact, daily activations have just reached 700,000, at least this is what Andy Rubin, head of mobile operations at Google, notes in a recent tweet.

“There are now over 700,000 Android devices activated every day,” he notes, without offering further details.

Not that we need any, of course. The number clearly shows that Android is taking over the mobile market, though both smartphones and tablet PCs are included in this figure.

At the moment, there is no other mobile platform that can rival Google’s Android in sales, and some suggest that there won’t be one for the next several years either, although Windows Phone is expected to claim the second position in three or four years from now.
