According to a recent tweet from Google VP Andy Rubin, “There are 300,000 Android phones activated each day.” Roughly two months ago, the company’s CEO Eric Schmidt told the press that the number was 200,000.
The tweet arrived last night–it’s Rubin’s second since he first joined the miroblogging service. Back in October, Rubin kicked off the feed with a shot at Steve Jobs, after the Apple exec interrupted an earnings call to talk smack about Android’s “openness.” Rubin responded, tweeting, “the definition of open: “mkdir android ; cd android ; repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git ; repo sync ; make” “
Rubin was more talkative at The Wall Street Journal‘s D: Get Into Mobile conference in San Francisco this week, however, unveiling a new Motorola tablet featuring Google’s forthcoming Android Honeycomb operating system.
