// No, I don't think there are 22.5m Android media players and tablets sold a month.

Samsung recently announced that Galaxy Tab, the most popular Android tablet, hit the 1 million mark. [1] Sales of Android devices by Archos, Meizu and B&N -- even when combined -- are flat-out negligible compared to Apple's sales volume.

I'd be surprised if there are more than 5 million non-phone Android devices sold a month. Also keep in mind that the "300,000 Android phone activations a day" is not at all verified, let alone that it applies to the present. Even if the figure was correct, it may well have pertained to a peak during the holiday season.

EDIT: My math was off. 30*75k=2.25m, not 22.5m. So yes, I have to agree, there may be non-phone Android sales of over 75k a day.



22.5M? where 1M=1000000? 5M per month = 150000 per day by my late night calculations :)


You're absolutely right, I stand corrected.
