He said that on daily basis 550,000 of Android devices were activated and this number has been multiplied by two over the last few months. If it keeps on increasing in the same amount, soon it will rule the Earth.

Ice Cream Sandwich, which was previously expected to be released in November or December of this year but Schmidt, reported that may be it is released as early as next month.
