Android Market now hits 50,000 apps

Weekend Mobile Industry Snippets!

We know that Androlib is in no way the official word on actual figures. However, we have always found Androlib helpful in looking at the overall picture and trends.  The charts they put together help us to see the bigger picture.

There are 47,517 total applications in the Android Market.  At the rate things have been going, expect the unofficial number to eclipse 50,000 sometime in the coming week or two.  In terms of paid versus free apps, roughly 40 percent of the available titles are paid while the rest are offered at no upfront cost.
