Google’s Android has become progressively more popular. It is interesting to note that the Android market has reached 100,000 apps with over 1 billion downloads, as perceived by AndroLib. Even more impressive is the fact that it took just under three months to get the number from 50,000 to the 100,000’s. Although it’s unclear if this figure includes app updates or not, it’s still significant, demonstrating the shear popularity of the Android app development.
Feeding the popularity for developers, many new Android based smartphones have recently been released. The Droid X and Samsung Captivate are poised to increase Google’s daily handset activation rate of 66,000 phones; Sprint’s HTC EVO 4G, HTC Desire, HTC Legend, Samsung Galaxy S, and the HTC Droid Incredible. Lots of others are coming and we can expect Android devices to surpass iPhone’s market share by the end of the year.
