Google confirms; 10 million G+ users and 550,000 Android daily activations Google reported their quarterly earnings tonight, blowing away estimates with revenue coming in at $6.92 billion.
Additionally, Google says it now has $39 billion in cash.

For Android, the search giant says it is activating 550,000 users each day, a number that is 50,000 higher than Google's last announcement on the matter, just two weeks ago.

The company expects to be activating 1 million devices per day by the end of the year (if current growth continues).

Google also confirmed there are slightly over 250,000 apps in the Android Market, with 6 billion downloads. There are also 130 million Android devices now out there.

Despite rumors that Google+ was approaching 20 million users already, CEO Larry Page said the social network has over 10 million users, sharing 1 billion items and 2.3 billion +1 clicks each day after launching just two weeks ago.
