Android Apps Surpassed 6 Billion Cumulative Downloads in Second Quarter
While Android’s developer platform is getting some intense competition from Apple, Google said today that more than 250,000 apps have been downloaded a total of more than 6 billion times to date — that’s double the three billion it reported last quarter. The first billion downloads took 20 months, and the second billion took five months, so the trend is the up-and-to-the-right hockey stick of growth that Android needs to continue attracting developers.
Overall, the 400 types of devices running the operating system now add up to 135 million activations worldwide, around what we’d guessed after the company said it had hit 100 million in May.
