Android reached a career highlight today, announcing via Twitter that it has reached 100,000 apps. This makes it easily one of the largest app markets out there, coming in second place to the iPhone’s nearly 300,000 available apps.
Android’s achievement comes at merely two years since its launch date, an admirable success. While it still trails Apple, it continues to challenge its competitor. What’s more, is that some speculate Apple has become so inundated with apps that developers may be more inclined to produce content for Android and its seemingly more selective marketplace.
My daughter works for Apple, so for a joyous (not) 3 years I had an iBrick. I recently got fed up with dropped calls so switched to an EVO. Not only does the EVO smoke the iphone, the Android system is actually open and configurable, unlike the ibrick which you have to use the way Steve Jobs says. Screw that. UP WITH ANDROID!!
I really don't know why i don't like adroid, maybe for my sonyericssion x10i? How could it still keep using the os1.6 and don't update to 2.1?? It has already drive me crazy!!!
I use to have iPhone for the ipod other then that,nothing special to knock my socks off,android from Verizon is cheaper on 2 phoned unlimited data, now ATT dont have unlimited anymore,they do only on current costumers
Happy as a clam with my g2, still needs to work on integrated apps.
Hi everyone! My name is "Sanjah" and I'm an idiot! Derrrrrrrrrr~
It's just a phone, it hardly makes the guy an idiot
I wouldnt call them APPS but CRAPPS, as in crapplications, or, for #1 through 4 above, the android applications are
NOT WORTH a C R A P
Great…So it has 100,000 apps. But Google still needs to get their act together on the Market. It leaves a lot to be desired. I'm looking forward to Amazon's app store.
And Ford is the reason my Mercie exists. Shall I switch from my e-class to focus?
Yea for better gas milage lol jk jk
Actually, Mercedes and Benz invented the car… Ford just made a cheaper mass produced version.
Haters. iOS is the reason android even exist. Apple forever.
Not even close where do you get your facts from… That's like saying apple soley exists because microsoft
Uh correction, Google was developing android well before crapple came out with the iPhone. Educate yourself before you comment.
Don't be mad at me guys, but I dropped my Evo for the iPhone4 because sprint dropped my hospital discount so I dropped their service. So, let me tell u this. The retina display is awesome, but besides that, android smokes iOS. I feel like I'm handcuffed with iOS. I'll wait till the end of my 30 days and pick up the captivate.
