190M Android Devices Activated, Google Sees $2.5B For Mobile Revenue Run-Rate

Fresh off Google’s quarterly earnings call today, we got some new numbers to help illuminate the size of Android’s overall footprint.

Google chief executive Larry Page said that there have been 190 million Android devices activated. This compares to the 250-million figure for cumulative iOS devices sold that Apple shared last week when it unveiled the iPhone 4S.

Keep in mind though that the numbers both companies are using don’t factor in consumers that might have bought or activated more than one phone because they are upgrading to a new model.
