Android Market sees 1 billionth download

article published on 15 July, 2010

According to AndroLib, the Android Market has reached 1 billion downloads in just under two years since the app store was launched. For comparison's sake, Apple's App Store has just over 5 billion apps downloaded since the store launched in 2007.

Androlib may be off by quite a bit. Our app, "Radar Now!" showed an estimated 765,000 downloads on Androlib.com - the developer's console in the Android market, which show the actual numbers was quite different, 600,000 so Androlib is off by a fairly significant margin.

If my math is correct and other apps have a similar error margin, then the actual number of downloads should be about 800,000,000 or slightly less.

I wonder if this counts for people that download multiple times...like when you do a hard reboot or an update, and then you have to reinstall apps. For that matter, what about when you get updates? They are not really updates; you just download the program again and install over the old copy.

The only thing that I'm concerned about w/Andriod is there an app that can handle both RSS feeds and podcasts. Now my old Windows Mobile phone has seperate programs for these, but none of the less it gets the job done. If they can do an all-in-one app for this, this I'm definitely in for Android. Any takers if you've seen apps like this? Cause I'm seriously considering buying an Android phone (either Droid X or Incredible) when my contract ends in the fall.

Those numbers do not reflect apps downloaded directly, without the Android Market.
