Google yesterday announced its latest financial results. Revenues topped US$10 billion for the first time ever and earnings came in at US$8.1 billion (missing Wall Street expectations). The company also announced some big numbers for its Android operating system.
According to CEO Larry Page, Android has now been activated on 250 million devices, up 50 millions from their last announcement in November.
