Google during its annual I/O Developer Conference in San Francisco on Wednesday unveiled that 400 million Android devices have now been activated and a total of one million new Android devices are activated each day. The number represents a rate of 12 new devices being activated every second of every day. The Mountain View-based company announced that its Play Store has expanded and will not allow users to purchase TV shows and various magazines. The Internet giant also revealed that Android users have installed 20 billion apps through the Play Store, and that more than 50% of app revenue now comes from in-app purchases.
