More Android App Stores In 2010 PDF VersionPrinter Friendly Version








Android is planning to open more App stores. So far it has had only two - Google Android Market and Motorola's SHOP4APPS. With more Android App stores in the market, Apple may get a tough competition....

Android seems to be making it big in the market. In 2009, about 9 Android based mobile phones were introduced in the market and 2010 may seeat least 50 more Android devices - which is quite a number. Also, it is being said 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. Presently, it is iPhone 3GS that is the centre of attention, but there seem fair 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 stores. So if Android owns more Apps, will it take over Apple? Well, that's uncertain but one sure news is that Android is making more App stores 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 a few more App stores. These will be by Sony Ericsson and General Mobile. Sony Ericsson had earlier announced about its new mobile phone Sony Ericsson 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 called Stereoid.

The more number of Android App stores can cause a complete change in the market trends which is dominated by Apple store. But this may take very long because 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 confirmed as of now. 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.
