If you hadn't noticed, it's Mobile World Congress (http://www.engadget.com/tag/mwc2012/) this week and Google's showing off its enormous booth packed to the gills with smiling green Androids. Andy Rubin (http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/20/googles-andy-rubin-defines-android-activation-trumpets-700-0/) insouciantly added that the Android Marketplace has reached its latest milestone: there are now 450,000 apps available for the platform. Other pertinent stats are that over a billion apps are downloaded every month and that 850,000 Android devices are activated each day -- meaning that there's more than 300 million of them worldwide. Of course, that's not the real story here at MWC, it's that the company have brought along a bedazzling booth for guests to glue as many false jewels to their Galaxy Nexus back-plate as their self-respect can handle.
