Samsung dominates smartphone market, outdoing Apple at their own game

Samsung’s smartphone market share has apparently increased to 28%, leaving behind Apple at 17%. 

This is surprising given Apple’s recent launch of the iPhone 5, no wait, 4.1/4+/4G/S/G (or whatever it’s called). Maybe next quarter’s numbers will show some increase for Apple.

Android sales continue to surge ahead at 500,000 a day worldwide since June, and that ‘growing at 4.4% week after week’ comment still has people speculating at that rate assuming it remains constant, there’s a possibility of hitting 1,000,000 a day any time soon…

Android device activations possibly approaching 1,000,000 a day?

In June this year, Google announced it was seeing 550,000 Android activations a day, and was seeing the rate increate at 4% each week.

Assuming the rate of increase is constant, someone has crunched the numbers and projected at this rate by this month (October), there would be 1,000,000 activations of Android devices EVERY DAY. That’s incredible. No confirmation at this point from Google, but when you think about it, even 550,000 a day is still a mind boggling number (and far ahead of iOS activations at around 300,000 a day).
