At the start of the year Eric Schmidt (CEO Google Inc.) announced that his company alongside its hardware partners reached the 60.000 milestone of daily shipments. This doesn't sound too bad, does it? This month the chairman declared at the shareholders meeting that Android is getting way better in charts, by impressingly growing with 8% in three months. Google and Android are shipping now around units 65.000 per day. Their growth is good, but the question is if when will Google be able to ship per day as much as Apple does (around 96.000 units per day).

Eric Schmidt didn't declared what shipped means, as shipped could mean sold, but could also mean built and distributed in stores. Anyway, even if he would have meant the second, this is still very good for Android because distributors don't buy if they don't sell. Probably most of those 65.000 units are also sold.
