It looks like Google’s Android Market has hit another milestone, as the Guardian is reporting that the Android Market has now hit a massive 4.5 billion app downloads.
This compares to 1 billion downloads about a year ago, the first 1 billion downloads took Google 2 years to reach, and according to Ian Carrington, Google’s mobile advertising director the last 1 billion downloads happened within the last 60 days.
It looks like Google’s Android Market is starting to catch up with Apple’s app store, Apple announced back in January that they had hit a total of 10 billion downloads, and it would be interesting to see what the figure is now. Take a look and our article on Android vs iPhone to see which smartphone and mobile platform is best for you.
