What did the fine folk on Google+ have to say about Apple’s iPhone 5 announcement? Well, you can see for yourselves by clicking HERE. Unfortunately our thumbnails don’t go beyond 640X400 on the site so I had to host it over on Google+ of course.

Android had a pretty big day today. Hugo Barra, Android’s Director of Product Management, announced over Google+ that there are now over 500 million active Android devices globally, with over 1.3 million new activations per day! That number is simply staggering! You could give every single citizen in North America one of those activated devices and there would still be millions left over.
