Every other tablet that's activated is an Android tablet, Google has revealed. In addition, the momentum for Android tablet sales has accelerated considerably in the last year, the company said, with more than 85% of Android tablets activated in the last year.
Google's head of Android and Chrome, Sundar Pichai, announced the statistics at an event in San Francisco on Wednesday. At the end of 2012, he said, Android tablet activations were approaching 10 million. Today, Pichai said they stand at 70 million.
How many of those tablets are Google-branded tablets? Pichai had some numbers to share about that, too, announcing that 10% of all Android tablet activations are Nexus 7 tablets, a device that debuted about a year ago at Google I/O 2012. He didn't say how many customers have bought its larger brother, the ultra-high-resolution Nexus 10, introduced in October last year.
Pichai also announced that the official Android app store, Google Play, now holds 1 million apps. The next generation of the Nexus 7 also made its debut.
