More New Androids Than Babies, And Other Surprising Mobile Facts [Infographic]

Smartphones are in fact taking over the world. An infographic from Web-application monitor service New Relic offers some surprising statistics about the mobile landscape.

For example, every day more than 1.3 million Android devices are activated — which is way more than the 300,000 babies born daily. Users now spend more time each day surfing the web or on their mobile apps than they do watching television.

There are more than a billion smartphones in use around the world, and age is no barrier — teens, adults and seniors are all well represented among their users.
