3.7M Android Devices Activated on 12/24 and 12/25

About a week ago Googles Senior Vice President of Mobile Andy Rubin tweeted that 700,000 Android devices are activated every day. He followed up that tweet with another today informing us that an astonishing 3.7 million Android devices were activated on 12/24 and 12/25.

From those numbers it appears that for many it was a very green (robot) Christmas. Every time I see the latest Android numbers I think to myself this is it, the Android Platform has peaked, well at least till Google releases its next set of Android numbers.

The numbers released today in combination with the announcement earlier in the month that the Android Market had reached the 10 billion download milestone further emphasizes the tremendous momentum behind the Android platform.

Did you give or receive an Android Smartphone or Tablet for Christmas?

Ho-Ho-Ho(ld) the phone, Santa’s calling

Christmas is one of my favorite Holidays. It’s a time to celebrate with friends, family and colleagues. Google is also in a festive mood this year.
Gmail is sponsoring a Christmas website, www.sendacallfromsanta.com that allows you to send a personalized greeting in Santa’s own voice.

The site is very easy to use, simply fill in the blanks and make a few selections from the available drop down menus. The choices on the subsequent screens are varied enough to be both fun and interesting for the recipient as well as the sender.
