Android now on 130 million devices, 6 billion downloads from the Android Market

In addition to their earnings announcement, Google has revealed that Android is now the operating system that sits on 130 devices. The platform is growing swiftly with approximately 500,000 new activations per day, according Android chief Andy Rubin, but is still 70 million device’s behind Apple’s 200 million. These 130 million total devices have garnered just over 6 billion application downloads, per TechCrunch, – which is still far from Apple’s breakthrough 15 billion.
