Google CEO Eric Schmidt revealed at least 65,000 Android-based phones are being shipped every day.

"It looks like Android is going to be either the number one or number two player" in the mobile phone market, he said at the meeting which was streamed live on Google-owned YouTube.

Google makes its Android software available to handset manufacturers and also sells its own smartphone, the Nexus One.

"Our partners are shipping about 65,000 Android handsets per day but if you check the blogosphere you'll discover there are some reports that that number might be quite low," Schmidt said.
