Our friends over at Medialets published a cool post detailing the day one stats from the Android Market. Very interesting indeed. It’s a quick and easy read, so if you’d like to check it out simply click here.
First off, some general observations from day 1 at the Android Market:
- They like to play games, shop, and know what music they are listening to
- They are curious about the weather
- They generally share the same interests as iPhone users
Next, some more important observations…
- The average app has 7,800 + downloads.
- 9 apps made it to the 10,000 - 50,000 downloads range.
- 24 hours into it, it appears that Android users are interested in the same types of app functionality as iPhone users…. either that or Android developers are interested in creating the same types of apps as iPhone developers.
Early days, but some interesting data is contained in that report for sure. Should prove to be very interesting not only to watch the download numbers, but to see what other trends develop in the near-term.
