Schmidt: Android phone price is expected to be as low as 70 US dollars

February 29 news, according to foreign media reports, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt said at the Mobile World Congress today: 2012 will be the Android year, if Google is doing right, everyone will have an Android equipment.

Schmidt said that the average daily activation of Android devices has reached 850,000, the rapid growth rate so that Google will soon increase more personnel.

Schmidt pointed out that this year's price of 400 US dollars will drop to 100 US dollars next year, many manufacturers are developing 100 to 150 US dollars of smart phones, and when the price is as low as 70 US dollars, you will get a huge new market. New markets include both developing countries and consumers in the United States. U.S. consumers previously did not accept most $200 smart phones, and $200 does not include two years of data and voice service contracts. This is why Google developed Android.
