More Android App Stores In Making
Android is making it big in the market. In 2009, about 9 Android based mobile phones were brought out in the market and 2010 is expecting 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 fair chances for Android to overtake Apple phones.
One of the strongest sides of Apple iPhone is their App store which is remarkable in number of applications it stores. So if Android owns more Apps, will it win over Apple? Well, that’s uncertain but one definite news is that Android is making more App stores.
There are two stores already in the Android market are Google’s Android Market and Motorola’s SHOP4APPS store. But now Android is on its way to introducing a few more App stores. The stores are going to be by Sony Ericsson and General Mobile. Sony Ericsson had earlier announced about its new mobile phone Xperia10 which is in making. The Apps for Xperia10 can be submitted by developers to Sony Ericsson. AppThe supposed name of the store by General Mobile is Stereoid.
The more number of Android App stores can cause a complete twist in the market which is ruled by Apple store. But this may take very 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 asserted as og now. We may have to wait for yet another few months to learn if there is only one runner in the race or this runner could be threatened by someone else. Until then let’s wait for some more news.
