From Google I/O 2011. A hundred million Android activations since Android’s debut. For comparison, Steve Jobs said at the iPad 2 unveiling in February that Apple sold the same amount of iPhones since the July 2007 launch. By last August there were 200,000 Android activations per day. In December, they exceeded 300,000 devices per day. Over 400,000 Android devices are now being activated every single day. Android Market has over 200,000 apps, half the App Store’s 400,000 count.
It took the Android ecosystem nine months to hit the first billion app download and five months for the second. They added one billion downloads in the last 60 days. There are 4,5 billion application installs from Android Market to date. Android today has more than 310 devices carried in more than 120 countries.

400,000 per day would take 250 days to hit 100M. We are only on day 135 or so of 2011. Perhaps that is 100M activations total.
First of all the iPad 2 event was March 2, 2011 not February 2011, credibility is at stake here.
Second is that 100 million Android phones, 100 million tablets, 50 million of each, 75 million phones and 25 million tablets? Did you ignore the details or was it Google that ignore the details?
If Google ignored the details and stated just 100 million Android Activations, why would you even bring up Apple and the iPhone, since you really don't how many Android phones account into the 100 million count? Now if you do know how many where phones, pleas update the article with the information or update pointing out that is don't offer that clarification.
It is all about being credibility and transparency in this digital day and age… Please use it
