Last month, Google CEO Eric Schmidt noted that Google was activating 200,000 Android devices a day. Obviously, that’s a massive number. Today during the Apple event in San Francisco, Steve Jobs took the chance to one up him — then take a shot at Google.

Apple is activating 230,000 iOS devices a day, Jobs says. He made a

thinly veiled reference to the Android numbers, and said “we think some of our friends are counting upgrades in their numbers.” Jobs said Apple is not doing that — if they were, the numbers would be much higher.

I fully expect Google to announce they’re activating 250,000 Android units — like, tomorrow. I’m only half-kidding.

Jobs also noted that 120 million iOS devices have shipped so far. And said that 200 apps were being downloaded every second from the App Store.
