Companies hold joint event to bat away any suggestion that iPhone is pulling away in the OS race.
VentureBeat reports on the event, at which it was confirmed that 18-20 Android-powered handset would be launching between now and the end of the year.
For its part, Google insisted that Android's openness, wide range of handset partners and developer community, continue to be its main advantage over Apple's platform.
Andy Rubin, the chief Android executive at Google, said: “History has shown a single product has limits on how the numbers can scale. The power of Android is there can be 1,000 different products built on Android. The magic is they are all compatible. There could be 1,000 killer apps. The user gets to decide which ones they want to use.”
