Google today unveiled their new 'Android Market' web store that lets Android phone users download apps (applications) in their web browser. The Android app store is a sign of increasing competition with Apple Computers' App Store (both for Apple Computers and specifically for Apple mobile devices via iTunes).
Previously users of Android OS mobile phones could access & download more than 100,000 apps directly from their mobile device - this gives some significant attention to the increasingly popular mobile phone platform
The Android Market - front page pictured below - provides apps by categories (on the left side) as well as in three tabs: Featured, Top Paid Apps and Top Free Apps.
If you're an Android phone customer (or just want to see what's in the on-line store) click over to the Android Market
Now with the Honeycomb, Google is now entering the territory of the tablets, which right now is dominated by Apple. It's would be interesting to hear the statistics of app usage for both the Apple Store and the Android Market at the end of 2011.
