That's 300,000 more per day than in July.
What a week this is turning out to be for the smartphone space. Two new Nokia Win8 devices, more Razrs, a big splurge from Amazon and - in the middle of it all - a reminder from Google of the ongoing acceleration in the Android platform.
Google CEO Eric Schmidt revealed the 1.3m stat at a Motorola event and added that 70,000 of the activations are tablets.

In the past these numbers have been disputed by Apple, which has claimed that Google has included OS updates as 'new' activations. This has been denied by Google.
Let's see what Tim Cook says next week...
