Google seems to be reaping the rewards of being on so many devices and on so many carriers through its Android mobile OS, which is being activated on more than 300,000 smart phones a day.
Google VP of Engineering, Andy Rubin, who only tweeted once in October, tweeted the news yesterday, noted by Business Insider's Dan Frommer.
The number is a breakthrough from the 200,000 activations a day figure that surfaced in August and was still the official number being touted as recently as Monday on official Google blog.
The newest Android device is Google's own Nexus S, which will release with the Gingerbread/Android 2.3 system.
All indications are that Android is still the fastest-growing mobile operating system in the United States, gaining fast on BlackBerry and the iPhone.
