According to @AndroidDev, the Twitter account for the team that is working on mobile operating system Android, the Android Market has officially hit 100,000 apps.
Number of apps in the Market have increased 300 percent over the last year, hitting new milestones at an increasingly fast pace.
Reads the status, simply: "One hundred thousand apps in Android Market."
During a recent interview, vice president for engineering at Google Andy Rubin said there are now 270,000 developers writing software for the operating system.
Including apps that have been pulled by their developers over the course of Android's history, Rubin confirms the number is over 100,000, as well.
For comparison's sake, Apple's App Store has just hit 300,000 apps available while the BlackBerry store has just over 10,000.
