The exponential growth of the Android Market

Apr 24 2010

According to AndroLib, the Android Market recently surpassed the 50.000 apps. The growth of the apps lately seems to accelerate exponentially. Since last August, the Android apps have been doubling, tripling and quadrupling. However the latest formal count is 38.000 apps.

On the contrary, the iPhone App Store is still far ahead, having 180.000 apps and counting. But it wouldn’t surprise me if we see a statistically significant decrease of the gap between iPhone apps and Android apps by the end of this year.

What do you think?
