San Francisco: Google's smartphone chief has said that carriers are activating over 300,000 Android devices every day.
Google Vice President Andy Rubin revealed the figure in a Twitter post, just two months after Google CEO Eric Schmidt said that the company had reached the 200,000-per-day milestone.
The new activation figures appear to put Google on par with Apple, which according to the latest official figures is activating 270,00 mobile devices a day. That figure was released by Apple CEO Steve Jobs in October, though that figure is expected to rise during the peak holiday season.
Apple still retains a significant advantage over Google since it makes money on the iPhone hardware while Google's only makes money from Android because it increases the level of advertising on the mobile web.
