\"\"<\/a>With all the recent talk about Android growth and trying to sway developers to the platform, we thought we’d stroll by Androlib to get a feel for where the number of apps sits<\/a> today.\u00a0 Now, we know that Androlib is in no way the official word on actual figures.\u00a0 We realize that until Google announces a figure, everything else is suspect.\u00a0 However, we have always found Androlib helpful in looking at the overall picture and trends.\u00a0 The charts they put together help us to see the bigger picture.<\/span><\/p>\n

As of this writing, there are 47,517 total applications in the Android Market.\u00a0 At the rate things have been going we can likely expect the unofficial number to eclipse 50,000 sometime in the coming week or two.\u00a0 In terms of paid versus free apps, things haven’t changed much over the last few months.\u00a0 Roughly 40 percent of the available titles are paid while the rest are offered at no upfront cost.\u00a0 Surprisingly, the ratings for Android<\/a> are rather favorable with only one in five apps rated at 1 star.\u00a0 We’d like to think those are the soundboards and sexy wallpaper apps churned out a dozen at a time.\u00a0 Be sure to check out Androlib for more information and pretty charts!<\/p>\n

Prediction: Google officially announces the Android Market has 50,000 apps at next month’s Google I\/O conference.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
