My understanding is that that rate does not exceed the overall growth of the market, though. So Android activations are growing in absolute numbers, but their portion of "all smartphones sold" is not.

An activation corresponds to either the first activation after a sale, or the activation following a "Reset to factory settings" of an Android device. How activations are split between these two is anyone's guess.

The 500k are world wide.
