10 Billion Android Market downloads and counting

(Cross-posted on the Official Google Blog and Android Developer's Blog)



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 & 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.
