10 Billion Android Market downloads and counting
December 6, 2011
One billion is a pretty big number by any measurement. However, when it’s describing the
speed
at which something is growing, it’s simply amazing. This past weekend, thanks to Android users around the world,
Android Market
exceeded 10 billion app downloads—with a growth rate of one billion app downloads
per month
. We can’t wait to see where this accelerating growth takes us in 2012.
To celebrate this milestone, we partnered with some of the Android developers who contributed to this milestone to make a bunch of great Android apps available at an amazing price. Starting today for the next 10 days, we’ll have a new set of awesome apps available each day for only
10 cents each
. Today, we are starting with
Asphalt 6 HD
,
Color & Draw for Kids
,
Endomondo Sports Tracker Pro
,
Fieldrunners HD
,
Great Little War Game
,
Minecraft
,
Paper Camera
,
Sketchbook Mobile
,
Soundhound Infinity
and
SwiftKey X
.
Of course, none of these apps would have existed if it weren’t for the developers who created them. Every day, these developers continue to push the limits on what’s possible and delight us in the process. For that, we thank them.
Please join us in this 10-day celebration and check in every day to see what new apps our developer partners are making available on
Android Market
—for only a dime.
