Apple’s highly anticipated music-centered event is live. And oh boy did the company come up with a lot of new stuff. Some of it we already knew about while other things were a huge surprise. To get things going Apple’s Steve Jobs was proud to let Google know just how well its iOS is doing.

About a month ago, Google’s CEO Eric Schmidt mentioned that Google was activating about 200,000 Android devices a day. In a ‘take this’ sort of approach Jobs announced that Apple is activating 230,000 new iOS devices a day. He was also sure to add that “we think some of our friends are counting upgrades in their numbers.” Obviously referring to Android, Jobs said that Apple isn’t doing that. And if it were, the numbers would be much higher.

Apparently, 120 million iOS devices have also shipped until now. What does this tell us? That Apple is doing quite well. We’re looking forward to hear from Google as the search engine giant may also be making a new announcement regarding the success of its mobile platform as well.
