Number of Android Applications, Reportedly Reaching 200.000 More Applications

Applications are an important part of the development of mobile devices, not only iPhone, Android is also chasing the number of applications available in the application store they have, one other player who also continues to increase the number of applications available on marketplace they are Microsoft.

For Android, as written AndroLib, a third-party service that provides data analysis from the Android Market, wrote that currently the number of applications available on the Android Market has exceeded 200.000 applications.

This number is not an official number issued by Google, but it can be an illustration of the growth of applications (including game) available on the Android Market. Apple's own App Store, whose app store was the first to arrive at this time is estimated to have reached 300.000 applications, while Microsoft's app store has provided 5.000 apps, which it achieved in less than two months.

The growth of applications on Android also gets support from the growth of hardware adopted by various manufacturers who are now 'competing' to make devices using the Android OS, the increase in users is one of the attractions for developers to create applications because the number of users will also continue to grow It also means that the application opportunities to be used are also increasing.

For the local market, Android-based phones also continue to emerge and are increasingly popular, although they are still in the growth stage, including from the level of consumer knowledge about what Android is, applications (including games) are an important part. Until now local users too Can't buy Android paid apps yet, which illustrates that the market share is still wide, with growing user growth, it is not impossible that Google will soon provide access to the facility to buy paid applications for local users in the Android Market.

The growth of mobile devices, including smart phones will continue to grow, and followed by the growth of applications and the growth of developers, consumers are also increasingly familiar and familiar with the various applications available, now there are more options for creating applications, apart from iPhone (iPad, iPod). Touch) has Android, Microsoft's app store as well as apps for BlackBerry devices.

We look forward to the release of official figures from Google about the number of applications that are already available in the Android Market, for the Android growth chart data from AndroLib can be seen at the link this.
