Android: Open Apps Success Story

Nov 03, 2008

Just one week since Google opened Android Market for external applications, and already the medialets blog has announced 167 downloaded apps.

The old favourite Pac Man game and a weather channel have proven to be the most popular downloads, numbering between 50.000 and 250.000.

Android Market itself doesn't give us absolute download values and medialets statistics are self-founded. As yet there are no official numbers from Google. In particular, the blog examines and compares the market positions of iPhone and Android. Between 667.00 and 2.5 million downloaded applications have been counted for Android to date, with tools, games, lifestyle, multimedia and productivity the most successful categories.

Just one week since Google opened Android Market for external applications, and already the medialets blog has announced 167 downloaded apps. If you happen to are convinced that the headline of this blog is informative, the chances are you are thinking about using Linux as your number one or just an optional Operating-system if you find yourself basically sick and tired of your old OS. Even though the majority assume that Linux is too challenging that it is of interest only to geeks, Linux-magazine.com might demonstrate that this remarkable os is in reality for most people. It is really attention-grabbing to learn about Android: Open Apps Success Story.
