Number of Android Phone Sales Per Day Jumps to 300,000

[JohnDroid]

Android's creator, Andy Rubin posted on Twitter earlier that Android's sales-per-day figures have risen to 300,000. In August, Eric Schmidt indicated our beloved Android's where selling at a rate of 200,000 per day. In just a few short months it's jumped by 100,000 per day. Let's see... at this rate there will be an Android phone for every man, woman and child in America in about two years! (assuming the rate doesn't accelerate further)

This is a pretty cool story, bro.

that seems like an extremely unrealistic number, doesn't it? :huh:

I think that's awesome. Could you think of the possibilities if every cell phone user had an android device?

This is only news to Apple. Us Android fans knew it would come to this all along.

World wide, nope. The US alone has what...330 million citizens and with kids as young as 12 sporting more than your basic phone, its not that amazing. Worldwide, thats 6+ billion people.

We could go for 54 years selling 300k phones a day before everyone would have one. Staggering, YUP! But its the truth. Don't forget, those aren't new contracts, they also include upgrades.

Insanity. Google continues it's inevitable journey to ruling the world. Thank God I'm in the the Big G's Boat!

Not at all. Plus why would Andy lie? Hes speaking on be-half of google. Thats the 4th quarters sales AVG.

The number seems high (projects to over 100M units a year), even for all phones much less just Android. But then I see Apple shipped 14M IPhones last quarter globally so I suppose not.
