“We think some of our friends are counting upgrades in their numbers,” said Jobs, most probably referring to the recent figures from Google (), whose Eric Schmidt claimed 200,000 activations daily in August 2010.
Google has quickly responded to Jobs’ allegations. In a response to an inquiry from Fortune, a Google spokesperson said: “The Android activation numbers do not include upgrades and are, in fact, only a portion of the Android () devices in the market since we only include devices that have Google services.”
So there you have it: according to Google, it might even have more than 200,000 Android device activations every day. Who do you trust: Apple or Google?
