China Now Has More Tablets And Smartphones Than The US

By the end of February 2013, China will have 246 million devices compared to 230 million in the United States,” says mobile analytics company Flurry.

In January, the US and China were within one million devices of one another. Flurry is measuring what it calls “active” devices, which means phones and tablets that are actually connecting to the internet, and not simply devices sold.
