Back in September, Google's Eric Schmidt made an appearance during a Motorla Razr event and stated that the company had reached a whopping 480 million Android activations and was quickly approaching the 500 million mark. Not long after, a tweet from Andy Rubin confirmed that the 500 million activations milestone had been met and that Google was activating 1.3 million devices a day. This week, the company says it continues to activate Android devices at a rate of 1.5 million per day.
Android will likely be boosted even further this coming summer if rumors of a second generation Nexus 7 come to fruition. Earlier this month, rumors started doing the rounds about a Snapdragon-powered Nexus 7. This new model is said to have a higher resolution display compared to the current model and may sell for even less than the already competitively priced $199 Nexus 7.
