Android seems to be making it big in the market. In 2009, about 9 Android based cell phones were introduced in the market and 2010 may see 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 overtake Apple phones.
One of the biggest supports Apple iPhones have is their App store which is comendable in number of applications it houses. So if Android owns more Apps, will it take over Apple? Well, we do not know that but one definite news is that Android is making more App stores.
The two App stores already in the Android market are Google’s Android Market and Motorola’s SHOP4APPS store. But now Android is going to adding more App stores. The stores are going to be by Sony Ericsson and General Mobile. Sony Ericsson had earlier announced about its new cell phone Xperia10 which is in making. The Apps for Xperia10 can be submitted by developers to Sony Ericsson. The new Android App store by General Mobile may be named Stereoid.
The more number of Android App stores can mark a complete change in the market course which is ruled by Apple store. But this may take too long for 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 distributed, which can be not very useful. However, nothing can be confirmed at this point. We may have to wait for yet another few months to analyze 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.
