two player," the executive told the crowd.

Schmidt also suggested that his estimate "might be quite low," according

running the OS in 49 countries.

If you need some more concrete numbers, how about this one: According
to Google's CEO, Eric Schmidt, more than 65,000 Android handsets are
shipped every day.

of course he doesn't mention how many handsets *other* companies ship.

apple ships well over twice that per day, based on their recent sales
reports. that number will no doubt increase when the next iphone is
released, possibly by quite a bit, depending on whether some rumours
turn out to be true.
