Christmas weekend: Android device activations hit 3.7 million and iOS 3.1 million

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesús.

In a tweet touting the holiday numbers, Google's Android honcho Andy Rubin said 3.7 million Android devices were activated the weekend of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

As Rubin explained in a Google+ post last week, activations refer strictly to the number of new devices (not resold ones) that Google records subscribing to a mobile service.

This news--directly from the mouth of Google--follows yesterday's report from Flurry that Apple iOS and Android devices combined recorded 6.8 million activations on Christmas Day alone. It means a 3.1 million activations for iOS devices.That was a healthy leap from the 2.8 million seen last Christmas.
