Noticing the regular updates about sales figure, what Andy Rubin is tweeted seems to be true. The company, which launched its Android smart phone as a competition to Apple iphone, has been constantly growing. Seven months prior to making this tweet, Andy Rubin had announced that the company was receiving activation figures of about 300,000 phones per day. Eric Schmidt, who is a former member in Google’s board of directors, had released a quote saying that Google android was being activated at the rate of 200,000 connections per day. The announcement by Schmidt had come two months before the first announcement by Andy Rubin.

Google announces new versions frequently

Google Android Honeycomb, the operating system that Google developed for android tablets, was announced in December. It was launched through Motorola Xoom. Hardly four months after this, had Google come with an update for its operating system. This software was meant to correct bugs and offer additional features such as Google talk audio/video facility. Soon after launching this update, an upgrade of Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich” was announced. The new version contained several new features such as access to number of android accessories, music and movies. All these frequent releases point clearly to the fact that Google is bent upon increasing its saleability value in the market.
