How Big is 10 Billion?
iTunes Apps Downloads to hit 10 Billion
The iTunes Store is about to hit a milestone in it’s history and in the history of the world.
Apple reached the 10 Billion download milestone with iTunes music downloads 7 years after it’s launch. The pace quickened with apps. Apps went from 2 billion downloads near the end of September ’09, to 3 billion in January of last year. One year later we see that number jump to 10 Billion. There is no question the advances in the iPhone and more importantly the launch of the iPad in April 2010 was the major push toward 10 Billion number.
Ten Billion will soon be the total number of apps downloaded from the iTunes. So how big is 10,000,000,000 and who else has this as a milestone in their history? Ten Billion is a pretty big number. It is actually an enormous number. So how can we quantify 10 Billion. These are some of the milestones that have happened in the recent past in regards to 10 Billion.

Smartphone Market Share – Is Android the Phone of the Future.
Android is leapfrogging iPhone
Nielsen just posted the results of another survey that show Android quickly eclipsing iPhone in adoption and smartphone market share
Android is growing while iPhone is stagnant
Are consumers deciding to adopt phones like the HTC Evo with a considerably better camera and 4G speeds that are up to 10x faster than the iPhone and AT&T? Are consumers wowed by the power of Android on the new DroidX? Do users want to see the other half (40%) of the web that is currently Adobe Flash content?
According to the smartphone market share study by Nielsen above, Android has shown a whopping 4-5% incremental growth/quarter beginning in Q4 of 2009 while Apple has only claimed 1% growth/quarter during the same time frame.
Android eclipses iPhone in recent study
Are we having Deja-Vu of Steve Jobs taking on Microsoft? Is Apple heading back to the same predicament they were in in the late 80’s. Are Adobe and Google just to strong for the well branded fruit? Time will tell but, the consumers are making their voice heard with their wallets. It will be interesting to see what the numbers will be the next quarter?
An article on Techcrunch stated sarcastically that it is “Shocking” that 20 models of the Android would outsell one iPhone. This is simply called market forces and the law of supply and demand. People want choices and Apple doesn’t offer that in phones or carriers.
