Google: 500 million Android devices activated
500 million Android devices have now been activated worldwide, and more than 1.3 million come every day, Google's Android chief developer Hugo Barra said on Google+. Counted here are the smartphones, tablets and other devices such as cameras, the user activates the Google Play Store, so are devices without Store access as soon available also in Germany Amazon Kindle Fire HD or many China-cost devices are not even counted. Google's ex-CEO Eric Schmidt had reported on a Motorola event last week of only 480 million units, he obviously had no daily figures.
The monthly statistics on the distribution of Android versions and screen sizes, the current version 4.1 Jelly Bean meanwhile rose slightly from 0.8 to 1.2 percent market share - still bad enough. It looks better in the previous version 4, which is now running at 21 percent of the devices, which is an increase of five percentage points. Only about four percent of the devices have Android 2.1 or older. Developers can use the features of Android 2.3.3 now use on almost 82 percent of the units.
At the screen sizes grow "normal xhdpi" most of 17 to 22 percent, which are smartphones with displays from about 4.5 inches upward. Tablets ("xlarge-MDPI" the 10-incher are, "large-ldpi/mdpi/hdpi" the 7-inch) have a share of only 7 percent - have the Google Tablets overslept, Schmidt was then also last week, when he said that among the 1.3 million daily activated devices were only 70,000 tablets, or about five percent.
