Android seems to be making it big in the market. In 2009, about 9 Android based mobile phones were brought out in the market and 2010 is expecting at least 50 more Android devices - which is quite a number. Also, it is being speculated that in near future, if Android continues to remain popular among cell phone manufacturers, it may soon start leading the market and change the current trend. Currently, it is iPhone 3GS that is the centre of attention, but there seem good chances for Android to win over Apple phones.
One of the strongest sides of Apple iPhone is their App store which is comendable in number of applications it stores. So if Android owns more Apps, will it take over Apple? Well, that’s uncertain but one definite news is that Android is making more App stores.
There are two stores already in the Android market are Google’s Android Market and Motorola’s SHOP4APPS store. But now Android is on its way to launching more App stores. The stores are going to be by Sony Ericsson and General Mobile. Sony Ericsson a little while ago announced about its new cell phone Xperia10 which is in making. The Apps for Xperia10 can be sent by developers to Sony Ericsson. AppThe supposed name of the store by General Mobile is Stereoid.
The more number of Android App stores can mark a complete change in the market trends which is dominated by Apple store. But this may take too long as Apple Apps store is not just huge in number of Applications it houses contains but also it is a one-stop App store. Where as Android App stores are spread all over, which can be not very effective. However, nothing can be asserted at this stage. We will have to wait for yet another few months to learn if there is only one runner in the race or this runner could be threatened by someone else. Till then let’s wait for some more news.
