Android Marketplace Hits 1 Billion Downloads

Congratulations to Google for reaching a huge milestone on the Android Market! The billionth app was downloaded today, a little more than a year and a half after launch. Not bad considering how Droid was slow to start off compared to the iPhone, which took only 9 months to reach a billion app downloads. This number continues to grow at a very fast rate, since Android OS is catching on pretty well now. Now I just wonder when they’ll reach the 2 billion mark.
