Android Market to hit 100,000 app milestone this month

By on July 13, 2010 at 11:04am in Mobile News

There’s no doubt that Google’s Android platform is gaining popularity. In Canada we have several devices that run their OS. To name a few we’ve got the HTC Hero, Legend, LG Eve, Samsung Galaxy, Acer Liquid E, Motorola Milestone, Quench and Dext… and more coming such as the HTC Desire and Galaxy Vibrant.

When it comes to the Android Market, it was only a few weeks ago that Google’s Andy Rubin said they have over 65,000 available for download. It looks like this month the combined number of paid and free apps will cross over the 100,000 mark. According to AndroidLib (they gathers stats on the Android Market) they show that we are currently sitting around the 92,000 apps. Over the past few months there has been an average of over 14,000 new apps submitted. So this should take it just beyond the 100k milestone.

  5. Anyone notice the drop in July ’10 coincides with the launch of the iPhone4? I hope it recovers to pre-July level and the exponential trend continues.

    currently checking my HTC Hero, there are 3 dedicated MSN apps, MyMSNMessenger Free, MyMSNMessenger Full Paid version($1.00), and MSN Talk that is free (however, developed for Droid, so don;t know if it will work on Hero).

    Then theres tons of other IM and IM+ apps, along with an entire lineup of social hub apps, etc. So theres always something on android and always something new coming up.
