Google is ferociously proud of Android. The company announced at its annual developer conference that over 900 million Android devices had been activated since its introduction in 2008. At the time, Google said it was just the beginning for Android, and a recent study agrees.
Gartner released a study that predicts what the electronic device market will look like in 2013. Gartner’s Research Vice President Carolina Milanesi says that “consumers want anytime-anywhere computing that allows them to consumer and create content with ease.” In short, she says that “mobility is paramount” and that shows in Gartner’s predictions.
First up, Gartner predicts that we’ll see over 2 billion mobile device (smartphones and tablets) shipments this year.
