Android surpassed iOS in the number of downloadable applications

Research firm ABI Research says that in the second quarter of 2011, Google is the number of downloadable applications for Android was able to come out on top in the number of total number of mobile downloads in the world. While the share of Android accounted for 44% of all downloadable applications, for iOS this figure does not exceed 31%. Due to what Apple has provided only in second place. At the same ABI Research notes that the supply of Android made ​​another leap, having increased the total amount of 36% for the quarter. Thus, if judged solely on the number of downloadable applications, Android surely goes to the full control of the market. However, this assessment of ABI Research refrains, which is a logical explanation. With that growth in the number of downloadable applications can be easily explained the growth of devices placed on the market. For this indicator, a device with iOS, produced only by Apple can not compete with the popular operating system Android, which is installed on a wide variety of smart phones from various companies. At the same time the number of downloads of applications on one device are related approximately as 2 to 1 in favor of Apple. ABI Research estimated the total number of downloads of games, music, news and other applications in 2011 will exceed 29 billion. What about three times more than a year earlier.
