According to Google‘s Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt nearly 1.5 million Android devices are activated everyday and he predicted that there will be more than 1 billion smartphones featuring Android OS within six to nine months.
The five-year old Android has been a huge hit for the company, it is now the world’s No.1 mobile phone software, with a 69% market share and more than 750 million mobile devices featuring Android in use across the world.
Schmidt also noted that Google had no intention of blocking access to the new app from Facebook called Facebook Home, which replaces the homescreen on Android phones.
He said that he was “phenomenally happy” with the app from Google’s rival and removing Facebook Home from Google Play store would be counter to Google’s public statements, policies and religion.
Do you own an Android phone and do you think that this OS can conquer every other mobile operating systems out there?
