Google Responds to Jobs’ Device Activations Comment

Last month, Eric Schmidt announced that 200,000 Android devices were being activated everyday and Mr. Jobs here took an obvious jab at Google’s numbers. During the event, Jobs announced that:

We think some of our friends are counting upgrades in their numbers

Google quickly responded by saying:

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.

We all know that Jobs likes to run his mouth, but we figured he would have learned his lesson after the whole “antennagate” debacle where he reported Android devices suffered the same issue when you held the device a certain way.

He continued to take a few more jabs at Google when he was talking about Apple TV stating that people wanted Hollywood blockbusters and high-end television shows and not “amateur hour.” Whatever jabs he feels necessary to help him sleep at night, but it’s clear inside he’s feeling very threatened by Google and the Android OS.
