Accumulated number of Application and Games in the Market
The graph speaks for itself. According to Android Market web interface AndroLib.com, the Android Market now offers users more than 90,000 apps, and is on pace to end the month in six figures. It will reach this milestone several months shy of its second birthday. A year ago, the number was under 10,000.
We'll keep an eye on the numbers and let you know when we get there. And while, of course, not every app is great, as the pie gets bigger, so does the slice that represents quality software.

Yea Yea, most of them will be junk and spam like "sexy ...etc etc..".
I disagree. I see lots of very slick apps coming out every day. Android Guys points some out almost every day.
I hope so. But this is not enough, it is pity for a great o.s. like android.
The internet has much worse junk
Because the AppStore on iPhone os devices isn't full of spam/rubbish/pointless apps, how many apps that make a fart noise does a device need exactly?
To everyone that says that there is alot of veal in the market, I agree.
But, let's say that 99% crap. That would still mean that there are a,1.000 of high quality apps.
And even whit apps2sd you don't put so many apps on your phone.
I would love for someone to create an app that will allow the sending and receiving of faxes. I understand there are technological and developmental complications but whomever figures this out will become rich overnight.
you can already use ANY online fax service to use on your Android ... just pick one that sends you email faxes in PDF format, easier to read
I've used efax a while back for a long time .. very simple: just type an email to a fax number 7899878899@efax.com for example and it'll send it for you. Use any documents as attachments and eFax would send them in with the same fax (using the text from your email as cover page)
There is a fax app for Android called 'Mobile Fax' (a href="http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.burrotech.mobilefax") that allows you to use your camera to take a picture and fax it. It depends on you taking a good camera shot. But I have used it in a pinch for work twice and it got me some praise.
It only takes a few killer apps to make a big difference. Once we finally get Flash (ugh come on already!) Android will get tons of games, developers and a much better web experience.
100k is just an indicator of how effective Android is in attracting developers. They have the freedom but it is up to them to come up with something cool.
that's awesome man
I saw a few really good music theory training apps for kids for iPHone ... there is nothing alike for Android
it wouldn't make the most popular app, but it'll take attract a lot of teens in school to practice your notes, intervals etc..
