After his panel at Techonomy, Google’s CEO Eric Schmidt told that they are now activating 200,000 Android units a day. That equates to 73 million devices a year if the rate of activations would stay the same; it is safe to assume however that the rate of activations will increase. The number of activations a day quickly rose from 100,000 in May to 160,000 in June, to this impressive number just now.

The primary means of revenue for Google is still search, Schmidt explained, and both Android as well as iPhone devices are driving Google search. Unfortunately, Google doesn’t break down revenue numbers for Android, because they consider it a part of search. Schmidt told however that revenue coming in from Android was absolutely enough for making the project worthwhile.
