Remember 2 months ago when Eric Schmidt took the stage and said Android was activating 200K devices a day? Well that number is now 350K. According to Brian Pitz, an executive director and senior research analyst at UBS Investment Bank, our favorite smartphone OS experienced a 16 percent increase in just a few months. This same growth was also expressed by the recent report released by Gartner earlier this week that said at this rate, Android will overtake Symbian OS by the end of the year as the most popular OS. The same report says that the iPhone’s iOS will peak this year and will stay the number 2 OS for the time being, I think until Nokia and Microsoft start making babies.
This growth is most likely due to the push Android is experiencing with not only the manufacturers but the carriers and the consumers as well. Google has something great in their hands now, and hopefully the next version will make us love them even more.
