Android Market Breaks 100,000 Apps, So What?

Google has surpassed the 100,000 app milestone in the Android Market, which provides further evidence that Android is entrenched in the smartphone market. It seems only a few short months ago that naysayers were harping on the fact that Android did not have as many apps as the iPhone. While the iPhone App store still has a sizable lead at nearly 300,000 apps, it seems to me the talk about the comparatively few number of apps as died down.

In my opinion the talk about numbers of apps is a red herring because there isn’t a clear definition of what is the number of apps that are needed to deem a platform a success.
