"It looks like Android is going to be either the number one or number two player" in the smartphone market, Schmidt said during the shareholders meeting.

Major rival Apple, which only sells one smartphone (the iPhone), had about 8.75 million units sold in the last quarter, so the 65,000 a day figure would put the two companies almost on par.
