    280 million Android slates of some sort are in active use — and maybe 32,000 people are snapping shots every second on Android.

    Google says 50 of its own Android apps are ready for big-screen tablets (and presumably Pixel Fold).

    Also, Spotify and Disney Plus. The Fold hasn’t been fully announced here yet. Stay tuned.
