Steve Jobs in the iPod event yesterday boosted that Apple is activating 230,000 iOS devices everyday, and not only that he also accused Google of counting software upgrades made on Android devices into number of activations made in a day. This is what Steve Jobs said “We think some of our friends are counting upgrades in their numbers,” with this statement he was referring to Eric Schmidt’s claim that his company’s open source mobile OS gets 200,000 activations on new devices per day.
Google has quickly responded to Apple’s statement and has confirmed that they are actually activation 200,000 per day. Below is the statement issue by a Google Spokesman to Fortune.
“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.”
What do you think about this Google-Apple silent rivalry? And on which side are you?
