The Jelly Bean statue is back at Google
Hugo Barra is Google's director of product management for Android. On his Google+ page, the former MIT attendee announced that there have been 500,000,000 activations of Android around the globe. Right now, 1.3 million new Android devices are activated around the world each day. At that pace, it will take just 385 days for the next 500 million Android devices to be activated.

And we have more good news for those who follow Android. The Jelly Bean statue, which had melted from exposure to sales of the Samsung Galaxy S III the sun, has returned to the Googleplex. We would have expected to see Froyo or Ice Cream Sandwich melt in the heat, but we're happy to report that everything is now back to normal, or what passes for normal, at Mountain View.
