Amazing apps
Google has announced it now has 100,000 apps in its Android Marketplace, via Twitter.
The micro blogging site is fast becoming many big businesses way of feeding news to the general public and Android Dev simply posted: "One hundred thousand apps in Android Market."
Google's Android Marketplace was launched just 2 and a half years ago and only announced it has passed the 50,000 app barrier some 6 months back, demonstrating the spectacular growth of the platform.
In June, Google said its Android users had downloaded over 1bn apps while the number of apps available had doubled in just two months. In the same month it also claimed it was activating 160,000 Android phones a day, so it is perhaps no surprise the Android Marketplace is spawning more apps than ever.
Yet despite Android's amazing growth it still has to catch up with Apple in the apps department, with its App Store boasting 300,000 applications. It seems if Apple continues to vet all apps offered on its platform carefully and Android continues to grow quickly, there could be a chance it could overtake the current leader in the not-too-distant future.
