More than 65,000 smartphones running Google's Android OS are being shipped each day, Google CEO Eric Schmidt said during an annual shareholders meeting May 13. ...Later this year, the company plans to begin shipping a new hardware architecture from its hardware partners. The architecture will bring together the Chrome browser, a Chrome operating system and an open-source program called Chromium. "In my opinion," said Schmidt, "it's likely to become a third platform of choice for both consumers and the enterprise."
