Android Market reaches 4.5 billion downloaded apps, “The last billion took 60 days”

The popularity of Android is growing everyday. Yesterday Google’s Andy Rubin tweeted that “there are now over 500,000 Android devices activated every day”. At Google I/O execs stated there was 200,000 apps available, but what about downloaded apps? According to Ian Carrington, Google’s mobile advertising sales director for northern and central Europe, said the Android Market has reached 4.5 billion total downloads. “A year ago that was one billion, and that first billion took two years to happen. The last billion took 60 days”. Any guess on when the 10 billion mark will be reached?
