Android Market now home to over 200,000 apps – WOW!
The title says it all! Google’s Android Market is now home to over 200,000 applications according to an independent Android app tracker AndroLib.com. Some may argue that Apple's App Store for the iPhone, iPod and iPad may still be on the first position, with over 300k applications available for download for its users, but the Andriod Market is still consistently increasing. Soon enough you may just see Android in that number one spot!
Even more interesting would be the fact that the average number of downloads per second is over 103 and counting. All together, the tracker shows that the app store has recently passed the 2.5 billion downloaded applications mark. What an impressive set of numbers were seeing!
As Softpedia has already mentioned, none of the above figures were confirmed officially by Google and the actual numbers might be a little different than what AndroLib.com shows. This has happened before. Until we know for sure it does give us something to talk about and a reason to be proud of Android! After only being available for about two years now they seem to be doing very well. What do you think?

200,000 Apps, 175,000 are nothing more than Branded Feed readers, merely graphic shells that display the same dynamic data sets we used to get when we went to their website in the browser but without the need to download because the layout graphics are installed with the apps and the Data is pushed at interval. Some don’t even come with that much! They are just branded browser windows. lol
Now not saying thats a bad thing, but it does rather inflate the numbers of things you can actually get to do something on a phone than what we WinMo folks are used to. When we had a count of Apps each one was an actual program not just graphical linkange and customized/branded feed reader.
But you know I will take pretty much what I can get! lol
.
for some reason, i cant find the ppcgeeks app! or is that just wishful thinking?
i wonder how many of them are the same exact thing
now android has 2 many fart apps
Yes, and like the Apple market 95 percent of them are either totally useless or poorly written or nothing more than advertising delivery systems.
If I really want to hear fart sounds I can make my own!
iPhone has like an extra yr and a half on Android doesnt it??? if theyd of debuted at the same time, ANdroid for sure would be in the lead..
Both Apple and Google are inflated. The apps that are any good in both markets probably total 5000 for both. Its just a number that sounds good in commercials.
