Android Army Growing [user size now at 250 million!]

It’s funny, despite how much I’m known as ‘that Android guy”, there are plenty that don’t.  And I love being that fly on the wall when Android comes up in conversation.  There’s a lot of positive talk, from what I hear.

So it’s no wonder I see something like this stat pop up — the Android Army is growing!

Since November in 2024, the population of the Android users have grown 25%, now up to 250 MILLION (that’s 700,000 new activations a day!).

And it wasn’t that long ago we celebrated the 10 BILLION downloads in the Market, that we aren’t that surprised we just crossed 11 BILLION.

With such a huge growth spurt, we have to be careful that we remain as open and inclusive to our community as possible.  Be helpful, and let’s see how long it’ll take us to double next time!

I wonder if there’s a way to pull out just the Canadian stats from that?
