How the Marketplace for Android Apps is Booming

By Andre M. Ortiz


When Apple first started the app store it was a revolutionary idea which provided people who bought their products with a number of features which had never been seen before. The app store put Apple one step ahead of the competition and their sales rocketed. It wasn't long before BlackBerry caught on the rise in sales which applications caused which led them to open their own app store.

As everybody wanted a phone which could have apps on it, other phone manufacturers were left with faltering sales. This led to the creation of the android operation system which would have its own applications for a variety of makes of phones separate to the Apple and BlackBerry offerings. Unlike BlackBerry and Apple's operating systems which are limited to their handsets, the android operating system is available on a wide range of models.

The price of the handsets the android apps can be used on is one of the main reasons for the boom in the Android App Marketplace. The newer models from BlackBerry and Apple, discounting one or two slightly older BlackBerrys are out of most people's reach financially. Phones from Sony Ericsson, Samsung or HTC come in a range which compared to Apple and BlackBerry handsets are much more affordable yet the android operating system lets the users enjoy the benefits of the applications.

Android Apps Marketplace is run by Google which is another thing which is working in the favour of the android with Google being the most trusted and used website there is. It is likely to with the operating system being backed by such a large brand that it will be reliable and have a safe future with plenty more developments to look forward too.

Given that the Android App Marketplace is relatively new, it still has an astonishing number of applications available for users to download. This means that android phone owners won't be missing out on anything the BlackBerry and iPhone owners have and they can enjoy what the Android App Marketplace has to offer because of the affordable handsets and apps.
