Google and Apple Spar Over "Daily Activations"

Steve Jobs, Apple CEO, says Apple was activating 230,000 devices a day, and questioned Google's claim that it is activating over 200,000 devices a day and growing.

"We think some of our friends are counting upgrades in their numbers," Jobs said.

Google says the Android activation numbers do not include upgrades and are, in fact, only a portion of the Android devices in the market, since Google only counts devices that have Google services.

Any way you look at it, that is in excess of 430,000 new Apple or Android smartphones going into service every day.
