Google's Android OS has achieved several new milestones in its quest to compete with Apple's iPhone and iOS.
At the Google I/O developer conference in San Francisco, Android Product Management Director Hugo Barra shared a barrage of stats on the growth of the Android platform. Among them: Google has activated 100 million Android devices globally, and 400,000 Android devices are activated daily.
Barra touted Android as a platform of many choices. It's is on 36 original equipment manufacturers and 215 carriers. And 310 Android devices are on the market in 112 countries. Compare that to the Apple, which has around a dozen iOS devices on the market.
As far as apps go, 200,000 are available in the Android Marketplace. Although that's still behind Apple's App Store, Google is catching up. Android users have installed 4.5 billion applications.
