50 apps take up most of your time out of 250,000 from the Android Market

If you’re rocking to an Android-powered smartphone, then surely you would know that the Android Market is trying its darndest best to overtake Apple’s App Store in terms of apps available, but we can safely say that quality trumps quantity here. Market analysis experts at Nielsen recently gathered usage data from Android users for statistical purposes, and it showed that 50 apps take up the bulk of your time out of around 250,000 apps on the Android Market. We’re talking about averages here, and a typical Android user will spend nearly an hour each day, interacting with their handsets.

Around 67% of the time revolves around app usage, while the remaining time is spent surfing the Internet. The top 50 most popular Android apps take up 61% of all users’ time spent on the smartphone – guess the remaining 249,950 apps are left unloved – surely something must be done to make sure the app love is spread around?
