It took them from June 2007 to June 2010 to reach 100,000,000 and only 3 months to add another 20,000,000 on top of that. Jobs also said they're activating new devices at a rate of 230,000 a day."</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1283441988.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb; margin-left: 100px; margin-right: 100px;" /></p><p>A not too subtle jab at Google when Steve said <em>"if we counted upgrades in our numbers they'd be way higher than 230,000." </em>Google of course had a response to this which was "<em>The Android activation numbers do not include upgrades and are, in fact, only a portion of the Android devices in the market since we only include devices that have Google services." </em>I guess Google and Jobs are interpreting data differently? </p>
