Global Android Activations, Oct ‘08 – Jan ‘11

By Askinas on May 29th, 2011

Data visualization of global Android device activations from October 2008 to January 2011.
Video Rating: 4 / 5

More info: bit.ly The folks at XDA developers are working on porting Android to the HTC HD2. This is their first attempt, and while it’s far from where it needs to be, it’s a great first step. It’s actually the Sense UI version of Android 2.1, similar to what you’ll find on the HTC Desire. Not working: pretty much everything. No radios work, and the software is extremely buggy. We’ll keep an eye out for updates and make more videos when there is something new to report!

    This should be commercial

  12. Firebert on May 29th, 2011 at 11:06 am

    @tk421808 What do you mean the activity stops? It’s showing the activity for each DAY, not the total activity. That’s why it goes up and down and “shimmers.” If they were showing TOTAL activations, it would keep going up.

    I guess what you’re saying would make sense if it were on paper, but putting it on a chronological video visualization makes no sense.

    android ftw! apple can suck a fat one

  14. Rawnchie14 on May 29th, 2011 at 12:08 pm

    lol holy crap, I think Samsung is responsible for lighting Korea up like a Christmas tree!

  15. tk421808 on May 29th, 2011 at 12:34 pm

    Cool video but it could have been 3 minutes shorter. They make the activations shimmer as if something is actually happening, when in fact all the activity basically happens within one day of the new phone models being released and then stops.

    Android = skynet?!!!

  27. attozes on May 29th, 2011 at 6:55 pm

    @turbotrauma I do own a Galaxy S i9000 right now. But I’m gonna get an iPhone 4 this week.
    Yes, Apple is a bit locked down, but when you get the Retina Display, the largest app store and the beautiful design, you just wanna trash the ‘customizability’ of Android.

  28. turbotrauma on May 29th, 2011 at 7:54 pm

    @attozes pfft, Apple is too locked down. I’m about to go Android, but probably galaxy s after seeing this?

  29. DonMikimax on May 29th, 2011 at 8:25 pm

    @attozes New version is much faster.

  30. DonMikimax on May 29th, 2011 at 8:34 pm

    I have latest version, its significantly better then this old version.

  31. attozes on May 29th, 2011 at 9:24 pm

    @TheCharmedRebel09 Wow! You always have to wait with Android.
    I’m sick of it. I’m getting an iPhone again.

  32. TheCharmedRebel09 on May 29th, 2011 at 10:21 pm

    @attozes listen what the man says, It’s normal becuse it’sjust started using androif and it takes time to make it better!
