Android Market Now Offers 20000 Apps

on 12/15/2009 07:41 PDT

While it’s certainly not the 100,000 apps that Apple’s App Store has, 20,000 is certainly a significant milestone, and that’s the number of apps that the Android Market is offering now. Google doesn’t officially release the stats and popularity of the store, but a site called AndroLib has been very diligent at tracking the activity in the Android Market since it was launched. Based on figures from that site, about 44.6% of the reviews on the apps rate them 5 stars out of 5, which isn’t all that bad. Do you think that the Android Market will catch up with Apple’s AppStore anytime soon?

Android Android is mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license.
