The Android Market will overtake Apple App Store

Its been a strong possibility for some time now but the Android Market looks like it will finally overtake Apple mighty App Store by August 2011. The culmination of the decelerating growth on Apple App Store paired with the Android Market growth still tenaciously accelerating, have meant that analysts have been able to predict this monumental shift.

App store analytics company Distimo were one of the first groups to predict the Android Market overtake with another organisation, Germany-based research2guidance having information that complemented the original research stating that Android Market will overtake the App Store by August 2011, assuming it hits its target of 425,000 new apps by the start of the month. In April 2011, Android Market added 28,000 new applications to its ranks, whereas Apple App Store only managed a comparatively small 11,000.
