The number of applications in the Android Market has reached half a million
According to Information Week, last September, Google has reached prices 500 000 applications in the store Android Market. This includes all applications that are hosted at the store, while reasonably available for download are about 315 thousand. This information was provided on resource research company research2guidance. It is also noted that in September, was marked and a record of filling Android Market - this month the developers have placed more than 50 000 applications. It is worth noting that despite record levels, store applications from Google is not caught up yet with the App Store from Apple. In the store the company's applications were registered 600 000 applications of which are relevant about 456 000. Almost 50% more than actually available in the store Google. The actual numbers generated for Android and iOS applications now stands at more than one million, of which approximately 800 000 available for download. This information gives other company, Appfire. Exact figures on the number of applications available in the App Store can not be obtained because the applications are not only accommodated, but are removed from stores because of the policies of the administration and the Android Market App Store. Therefore, neither Apple, nor Google will not come out with a statement about the message the number of applications in these stores. In addition, the real benefit of such a large number of applications is becoming limited as a direct relationship between quantity and quality are not available, but many of the applications overlap. Against the backdrop of thousands of numbers from Google and Apple lost some Microsoft Marketplace. At the end of September, the store had about 35 applications, 000, of which 13% were no longer available for download. It should be noted that a comparison of store from Microsoft is not entirely correct either with Android, or with iOS, due to the fact that despite these efforts the corporation to draw attention to their product, the prevalence of smartphones with OS Windows Phone to order inferior to the aforementioned products. This eliminates the possibility of high returns from the sale of applications through the Marketplace, as well as reducing the number of stakeholders in developing applications.
