I'm confused. WFBs keep assuring me that it is so.

[CGUYS] Android Apps again

2009-12-15 Thread mike
From AndroLib.

Quantity rarely equals quality, of course, but it's still fairly notable
that the Android Market http://www.engadget.com/tag/androidmarket has now
managed to top 20,000 apps just a little over a year after it opened its
doors -- Apple's App Store had over 50,000 apps a year into its existence,
for those keeping track. Even more interesting, however, is the distribution
of free and paid apps in the Market. According to *AndroLib*, fully 62.2% of
the apps available are completely free, compared to just 37.8% that are paid
apps. That's in stark contrast to the App Store, which now has over 100,000
individual apps, of which (by some recent counts) a hefty 77% are paid
applications -- although only 30% of total App Store downloads are for paid
apps. What does it all mean? Well, that's open for debate. But one thing's
for sure: the rest of the app store contenders are going to have to work
some special pie chart magic to come out looking good in this battle.
