據(jù)手機應用安全公司Lookout Mobile Security最近的調(diào)查數(shù)據(jù)顯示，自去年8月份以來，Android應用程序數(shù)量增長了127%，Android Market的產(chǎn)品數(shù)據(jù)有望在2012年中期超過iPhone應用程序。蘋果App Store在同一時期的應用增長率是44%。

游戲邦獲悉，該調(diào)查同時追蹤了Android Market和App Store中的每一款應用，但并不包含更新版本的產(chǎn)品，以及那些無人下載的應用。

Apple-vs-Android

蘋果目前擁有34.8894萬款應用，在去年8月的這一數(shù)據(jù)是24.3037萬；Android Market現(xiàn)在共有8.7785萬款產(chǎn)品，而去年8月時僅3.8729萬。

Lookout聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人Kevin Mahaffey指出，谷歌Android應用產(chǎn)品數(shù)量的快速增長，很大程度上得益于該應用商店較為寬松的開發(fā)商政策。據(jù)游戲邦了解，該平臺開發(fā)商一般會比App Store的同行發(fā)布更多應用，平均每名Android Market開發(fā)商會推出6.2款產(chǎn)品，但App Store的同行平均僅發(fā)布4.8款應用。（本文為游戲邦/gamerboom.com編譯，轉載請注明來源：游戲邦）

When will Android apps outnumber iPhone apps? Mid-2012

Apple has had a long head start in mobile apps over new archrival Google.

But new data shows that the number of Android apps has grown 127 percent since August and offerings in Google’s Android Market should outnumber the total for iPhone apps by mid-2012. Apple’s App Store wares grew 44 percent in the same time.

The data comes from the App Genome Project, a research project undertaken by Lookout Mobile Security, a mobile app security company. Lookout is examining every single app on both the Android Market and the App Store; it doesn’t count updates or apps you can no longer download.

Apple has 348,894 apps available now, compared to 243,037 in August. The Android market has 87,785 apps, compared to 38,729 in August.

Part of Google’s success may lay in its developers’ prolificity. Android Market developers typically release more apps than Apple App Store developers, said Kevin Mahaffey, cofounder of Lookout, in an interview. On average, the Android Market has 6.2 apps per developer, while the App Store has 4.8.（source:venturebeat）
