Google says 65k Android phones shipping each day

The AFP Reports that Google CEO Eric Schmidt claims that 65,000 Android phones are shipping each day on 34 different handsets in 49 countries.. at that rate about 6 million Android handsets should ship this quarter, a little behind the iPhone's sales of about 9 million.

Of course, the iPhone is less commonly available being tied in some major markets to just a single carrier, and the rumoured next-generation iPhone 4 may only be months away.. but Android fans will be please to see that the platform is making real progress and is highly competitive with Apple's offering.
