So a month after the first Honeycomb tablet hit the shelves – the Motorola Xoom – and Android devs/tinkerers still aren’t happy that they haven’t been handed the Honeycomb source code. Obviously feeling the heat, Google’s Andy Rubin took to his blog to defend their delay:
This is a jump-up from the 200,000 sold each day which Eric Schmidt confirmed in August. Andy Rubin, Android’s creator, took to Twitter to make his proud boast – only the second time he’s ever tweeted. [@Arubin via @morrildl]
There’s a very attractive job going at Google, with the company looking for someone to head up its Music launch later this year. Meanwhile, Android dude Andy Rubin is working with the team closely, and even meeting with record labels.
Andy Rubin’s at the Droid X event too. At Google IO last month, he says, they were selling 100,000 Android devices a day. Now they’re selling 160,000 a day. And there’s 65,000 apps in the market now.
