Android Market hits 20,000 apps!

Apple may have surpassed the 6 digit mark when raw available apps are concerned, but a myriad of other factors make the Android platform and Android Market equally tempting. With 2009 rounding out rather favorably and 2010 already shaping up to be the year of several eye raising Android devices, the platform as a whole will only grow. If app counts are anything to go by, Android is in deed on the way up as today the Android Market finally moved passed 20,000 available apps for download.

Similar to Apple’s App Store, the raw number is not indicative of actual *useful* apps available. Still, the greater the selection and continuing growth only go to show that devs are interested in the platform and that Android is on the uptick. Thoughts?
