When Google started android in early 2007, it was before Android, before iOS. Mobile was still niche. And while many of us had a sense that mobile was going to be big, we were not sure we really realized just how big it was going to get. Fast forward to today, and there be now 2 billion monthly active Android devices globally.
This is an extraordinarily humbling milestone—and it’s the largest reach of any computing platform of its kind. Today at Google I/O, Google celebrated that milestone and showcased a number of ways Google working to make Android even more useful, including a beta release of Android O and a new initiative to help bring Android to the next billion users.
