Half A Billion Active Android Devices In Our Planet

We had spotted multiple smartphone stats and android stats before, we spotted this today:

""Today is a big day for Android... 500 million devices activated globally, and over 1.3 million added every single day," said Hugo Bara, Android's director of product management, in a Google+ post. It's not clear how many devices are replacing older ones, though."

The real issue with Android is this: not many people are paying for apps. Which means, purely from a developer standpoint, iOS is still the OS of choice.
