Adobe CEO Narayen on Hiring, E-Mail, and Apple. Jobs Jabs At Google, Google Jabs Back -- InformationWeek. During Wednesday's Apple press conference, CEO Steve Jobs took a not-too-subtle shot at Google and its Android platform. Google responded. Most Apple press conferences start off with some statistics and state-of-the-company type stuff. Wednesday was no different, and Jobs noted that Apple is activating 230,000 iOS-based devices per day. He made sure to specify that that's 230,000 new devices being activated each day. Google's CEO Eric Schmidt recently let fly that the company is activating 200,000 new Android handsets per day. Steve Jobs said, "We think some of our friends are counting upgrades in their numbers. " A Google spokesperson to Fortune, "The Android activation numbers do not include upgrades and are, in fact, only a portion of the Android devices in the market since we only include devices that have Google services.
" In other words, Google says it is under reporting the actual number of Android-based devices being activated each day. More Insights. Education Exchange.
