Greg Kumparak, from MobileCrunch (Techcrunch), is reporting out of Barcelona where Google's CEO Greg Schmidt's is presenting at the Mobile World Congress Keynote. Reportedly, Google's new handsets are shipping out at an astounding rate of 60,000 per day. Greg does explain though that "shipping" in Germany could mean multiple things:
Whether 'shipped' here means 'sold to end users' or 'ordered by retailers' is unclear...it’s quite the feat either way.The most fascinating part is paring those figures quarterly and yearly to Apple's Iphone sales, in the same regards. At the current rate (60,000/day), that is nearly 5.4 million sold a quarter and approximately 21.9 million a year. Compare that to Apple's total Iphone sales last quarter (8.7) and You have a great outlook of just how competitive this is getting between the two Megagiant corporations!
