Medialets has released some data after the first 24 hours of the launch of Android Marketplace. The report found similarities between iPhone app users and Android users:
- They like to play games, shop, and know what music they are listening to,
- They are curious about the weather, and
- They generally share the same interests as iPhone users
Some other Observations include:
The average application has 7,800+ downloads
Rather than displaying exact figures, Android phones show download ranges for a given application, with the smallest range we observed being 100-500 and the largest 10,000-50,000. Given those ranges, roughly 206,000 to 770,000 downloads occurred within the first 24 hours of launch. The weighted average of midpoints is 7,850 downloads/app, just north of the middle of the 5,000 - 10,000 range.
Nine apps made it to the 10,000 - 50,000 downloads range
ShopSavvy is at the top of the list factoring in ratings and number of reviews, followed by The Weather Channel, and Shazam, an app that helps people identify a song they are listening to
Games are the most popular mobile apps
