Top 30 Android Applications

While the ubiquitous media has surrounded the market for iOS apps (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch), it is important to remember that Android is also making great strides. Already more than 100,000 applications are available in the Android Market. In the past six months, sales of Android-based devices have been excellent, with 32% of all new smartphones being acquired based on the Android OS. The market is filled with various models from a variety of manufacturers. Since the advent of the first devices, many have assumed that this OS will surpass the Apple OS in the coming years. And an important role in this should be played by applications for both platforms.

Currently iOS is still ahead. There are not enough good Android apps that many people will really use. Some applications from iOS appear on Android and become equally popular. All this confirms the huge potential of the OS from Google, but it is still too early to draw conclusions.
