There is no doubt that Android handsets and Android Market is in fast growth. Eric Schmidt said Google’s
partners sold 60000 Android phone per day, the number of Android Market applications reached about 20000
at the end of last year( about 16,000 or so). Today, Google responded to MobileCrunch that the number of
applications(include paid and free) in Android Market has exceeded 3 million, in other world it’s increased
about more than 10,000 pieces of applications in 3 months (nearly doubled). In fact, according to
AndroLib(a third-party applications site) statistic that the total number of all applications are close to 35000.
Compared to Apple, who’s number has already more than 140,000 in January this year alone,
a total of five times to the Android Market’s, Google still has a long way to go. Despite institutions
predict that the number of Android Market applications will reach as many as 150,000 at the end of the year
, but according to this growth rate can it reaches?
